In this study, I focused on the Actor-Network-Theory (ANT), which is the forerunner and the most frequently mentioned among the various debates on the non-anthropocentric approach. In FY 2019, I focused on the historical background of ANT and how ANT developed in the field of science studies, and in FY 2020, I clarified the significance of ANT, especially in the field of ecology. Through these processes, I clarified the scope, significance, and challenges of ANT and, by extension, the non-anthropocentric approach.
