Robert Lanza's biocentricism,as a new idea different from the traditional research category of environmental ethics,breaks through the existing scientific framework to a certain extent.However,it takes scientific theory,especially quantum theory and biology,as its theoretical support,reconstructs the external world and physical universe with life and consciousness as the center,and reinterprets time and space.Biocentricism holds that the subjective experience of consciousness is the center of the physical process associated with itself.Its implied world view helps us to grasp the special attributes of life different from non living matter,and also has basic significance for us to understand the relationship between life and material reality.First of all,biocentrism expounds a kind of relationship between consciousness and the outside world.Biocentrism holds that subatomic particles,which constitute the material world,exist in the form of probability fluctuations before they are observed,and it is only with the participation of consciousness that they collapse into reality.It is the information transmission of consciousness to the outside world that makes us perceive the authenticity and reality of the outside world,but the "outside world" seems to be the result of consciousness only from the perspective of consciousness.Therefore,the relationship between consciousness and matter in biocentrism is not separate,separate and absolute.In essence,"consciousness",as the core of cognitive mechanism,is intertwined with the outside world.Secondly,the cosmology and space-time view of biocentrism are based on life and consciousness.Life plays a central role in the construction of the universe model.The basic tectonic forces and hundreds of physical constants of the universe just show the state of "fine-tuning" for the existence of life.At the same time,the time and space that make up the universe also have the characteristics of non independent existence due to the action of consciousness.The non-directional,ideogenetic and variable of time,and the variable,non-vacuum and ideogenetic of space are not the characteristics of the external world,but the embodiment of a thinking tool for biological consciousness to perceive the external world.Finally,there is a difference between biocentrism and idealism that people usually understand.Although it takes human consciousness as the main theoretical perspective and involves other animal and plant's consciousness seldomly,it is a scientific cognitive pattern,but as a scientific and logical philosophy of science,it breaks the boundaries of dualism and abandons the traditional thinking of the universe Dimensionality,which opens the cognitive paradigm based on life,shows a holistic thinking that consciousness and material world do not exist independently,and is a new cognitive way that biological system influences physical system.
