Abstract

This first chapter introduces the Theory of Biophilia, which argues that a crucial relationship exists among all species, both human and non-human. This theory is unique in that it emphasizes an almost reverent collaboration of all life on the planet Earth toward a common need to survive, rather than their apparent hostility and competitiveness. The Theory of Biophilia expands the human definition of sentient life and examines how important this love of life is to the essential need for regard within both the observer and the observed.
