Propuesta de categorización de las formas de vida no terrestres

Astrobiology is a new branch of science whose main focus is the study of possible life forms that are not found on Earth. Being an interdisciplinary field, it is open to contributions from other areas of knowledge, such as philosophy. This research is a proposal for categorizing possible non-terrestrial life forms from a philosophical standpoint, but focused on scientific data and considerations, while also taking into account that science does not have many verifiable elements that confirm the existence of living structures beyond Earth. However, we work with certain feasible ideas in order to theorize and reflect, by use of qualitative method and bibliographic technique, leaving space for the author’s own ideas. As a result, the study proposes seven classificatory sections: Instrumental abiological, Darwinian and non-Darwinian Microorganism, Instinctive macroorganism, Intellectual macroorganism, Conscious macroorganism, Genbiological, and Metabiological.
