• Analogism — A school of thought, doctrinal method, or theoretical tendency based on the systematic and exclusive use of analogy as the primary tool for knowing, explaining, and interpreting reality or language structures. In philosophy, it designates the type of reasoning that explains universal phenomena through strict proportional correlations and correspondences between microcosm and macrocosmos, while in ancient linguistics, it represented the doctrine asserting that language is governed by regular, proportional, and logical rules, in opposition to anomalism.
• Animism — A primitive form of religion or archaic belief system that attributes an individual soul, consciousness, and will of its own to all elements of the surrounding nature, including inanimate objects, plants, animals, and meteorological phenomena. In a philosophical sense, the term can also refer to the doctrine that considers the soul as the sole and absolute principle of all organic and intellectual life.
• Anthropocentrism — A philosophical conception or metaphysical doctrine according to which man is the center of the universe, the ultimate goal of creation, and the measure of all moral, aesthetic, and existential values. This current tends to interpret all cosmic laws and natural phenomena through the lens of their relevance to the human species, being frequently contrasted in current debates with biocentrism or ecocentrism.
• Art for art's sake — An aesthetic and philosophical doctrine that emerged in 19th-century France (l'art pour l'art), asserting that art possesses autonomous intrinsic value and should not be subordinated to any utilitarian, moral, political, didactic, or social function. Initially promoted by writers such as Théophile Gautier and later adopted by Parnassians and Symbolists, this concept holds that the only legitimate purpose of artistic creation is the attainment of pure beauty and perfection of form.
