Biosentrism

Biosentrism is a philosophical theory that proposes life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It suggests that our perception of reality is not merely a passive reception of external stimuli, but rather an active construction shaped by our biological existence and consciousness. The theory posits that the observer and the observed are inextricably linked, and that without a conscious observer, the universe as we understand it might not exist or would be fundamentally different.

Proponents of biosentrism argue that concepts like space and time are not objective realities but rather tools that our minds create to process information. They suggest that quantum physics, with its observer-dependent phenomena, provides evidence for this view. The theory challenges the traditional materialistic view of the universe, which prioritizes matter and physical laws as the primary determinants of reality. Instead, biosentrism places consciousness and biological processes at the center of existence, implying that the universe is intrinsically tied to life itself. It is a perspective that seeks to explain the nature of reality by starting with the experience of being alive.
