The placement of man, sometimes simply called the Placement, or the placing of man, is the process of the redemption of humankind through Astronism from its lapsed state of self-worship and self-concern (called the Controversion) which resulted in humanity's condition of antipode from the astronomical world. Through the Astronist system, an emphasis is placed on humanity's proximation towards and subsumption into the astronomical world, thus repairing the antipodal condition in the process and then allowing for the elevation of man to commence as a part of the broader process of transcension.
The placement of man involves many different necessary processes. The term placementation denotes these many different processes when regarded collectively.
Formalised belief in or association with the doctrine of the placement of man is called positarianism.
