Yes.

No.
Well, to be honest, there's an awful lot of foolishness vented -- and distorted versions -- but it's really very much in the tradition of William James' radical empiricism. James took Darwin seriously, and concluded that 'apriori' truths were empirical in origin, having shaped our nervous systems over the course of evolution. He denied the possibility of transcending our nervous systems to attain godlike knowledge.
The anthropic principle is quite similar, only instead of recognizing the backdoor influence of empirical facts on our nervous systems, it recognizes the backdoor influence of empirical facts outside the universe (which determine the relationships of fundamental constants) which determine the very possibility of having ANY knowledge whatsoever.
