Abstract

The author proves his belief that using any interpretation of the anthropic principle in scientific knowledge, especially under the tendency towards unification of physical theories, counteracts this very tendency. Nonconformance of the principle to scientific standards is the most obvious when developing concepts of the multiplicity of universes. Therefore, the anthropic principle is just of world-outlook interest, which makes researchers to focus on a false idea of anthropocentrism, but it has no scientific and methodological value.
