When referring to Indigenous traditions, the term biocentric is used to describe their worldview. In the traditions coming from China and Japan that we looked at (Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto), we spoke of harmony and balance. What is the difference between a biocentric and a harmonious worldview? In your opinion are there tangible differences to constitute this distinction or is it simply a scholarly invention (or both)?

In other words, your response should provide a social and historical context for understanding these concepts, and follow with reflections on how they have been applied and interpreted over time. This last part should comprise approximately 1/3 of your response
