OP All I can dig up on this phrase is that it means "man as the measure of all things".
But is it "man as the measure of all things" as in the cosmological anthropic principle or Biblical anthropocenticity? Or something else entirely?
If this webpage is to be believed, it is also the name of a rather famous doodle.
I would like to know how it might be used in a sentennce.
Love Ulrich

Edit: Unless they are using it to indicate that the picture is of "man measured".
