| Abstract: | This article presents arguments for a biocentric worldview based on the rarity and uniqueness of planet Earth as confronted with trillions of other worlds in our galaxy alone. This cosmic outlook comes from recent astronomical knowledge concerning the distribution of exoplanets and the growing understanding of the interconnectedness and codependence of all life on Earth, past and present. Confronting the uniqueness of Earth's biosphere and its current fragile state due to centuries of aggressive human presence, the biocentric worldview proposes an ethics of belonging that takes life center stage as humanity struggles to chart its path toward a sustainable future.
