Planets as Subjects: Life Beyond Biology. A Philosophical Manifesto of Cosmic Thinking
This article is a philosophical manifesto affirming the subjectivity of planets and calling for a radical redefinition of the very concept of "life." The author challenges the biological reductionism of modern science by presenting a metaphysical vision of the Universe as a living, conscious Whole. Planets are viewed not as inert objects, but as sentient entities possessing their own intentionality and internal world. Drawing from ancient natural philosophy, Eastern thought, and contemporary theories of consciousness, the text proposes a new scientific paradigm: a transition from the "study of objects" to a "dialogue with Subjects."
