Preferred term

biocentrism  

Definition(s)

  • Biocentrism (“life centered”) is an ethical perspective holding that all life deserves equal moral consideration or has equal moral standing. While elements of biocentrism can be found in several religious traditions, it was not until the late decades of the 20th century that philosophical ethics in the Western tradition addressed this topic in a systematic manner.
