The article proposes a division of formulations of strong anthropic principles into general and specific. The division reveals diverse relationships between the existence of carbonic life in the Universe and its various properties. These relationships are necessary, conditioned by the understanding of the expression must, as well as causal and teleological. General formulations of the principles of both types focus on the factor of necessity. Specific formulations of the principles in question are called in the literature of participatory and final anthropic principle. The principles are named 'participatory' and 'final' principles since in explaining properties of the Universe causal and teleological roles of the observer are taken into account. In other words, teleological and causal relationships between cosmic coincidences and the fact of life existence in the Universe are postulated.
