Biocentrism holds that every living creature has ______.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating the statement, we start by identifying what biocentrism claims about living beings and their worth.
Option 1: Intrinsic value. This aligns with biocentric philosophy, which posits that all living creatures possess value in and of themselves, independent of their utility to humans. This is the core idea. 
Option 2: Subservient rights. This would suggest that the rights of beings are secondary or subordinate to others, which contradicts biocentrism’s emphasis on the inherent worth of all living beings rather than a hierarchy that places some rights above others.
Option 3: Contingent rights. Rights that depend on certain conditions or contexts imply variability in status, which does not reflect the biocentric claim that every living creature has inherent value regardless of circumstances.
Option 4: Instrumental value. Framing living beings as valuable only for what they provide to others (e.g., humans) misses the biocentric assertion that their value is not merely instrumental but intrinsic and not contingent on use.
In summary, the statement that biocentrism holds that every living creature has intrinsic value captures the fundamental principle, while the other options describe conditional or external valuations that biocentrism rejects.
