  • What is biocentrism?

  • Biocentrism is a philosophical perspective that places biological life at the center of understanding the universe.

  • It suggests that life and consciousness are fundamental to the cosmos.

  • Proposed by Robert Alonzo, biocentrism challenges traditional view by asserting that life creates the universe rather than the other way around.

  • Central tenets of biocentrism include Life and consciousness are primary Reality exists because life observes it Space and time are tools of the mind They are constructs that depend on the presence of life to perceive them The universe is fine-tuned for life Laws of physics are what they are because they permit life to exist Critics argue a lack of empirical support and verge on solipsism but it stimulates significant debate in philosophy and science
