"... biophilia is everywhere: people walking their dogs and stroking their cats, kneeling in their gardens. The love of homeland that is celebrated in so much of our art and literature. Children’s love of animals, their affection even for reasonable replicas of living things—teddy bears and rubber ducks. The furry seal-eyed robots used to comfort elderly people in Japanese nursing homes. Biophilia enters human hearts and minds in many ways." (Walter Truett Anderson)1

It's been hypothesized that the Overview Effect is a manifestation of biophilia. This is particularly interesting because, from space, no individual living thing on the ground is visible.
Biophilia remains an intuitively appealing but scientifically debatable hypothesis.

Project Persephone is, among other things, an experiment in the limits of biophilia as a motivation for participatory governance. Does the limited range of species possible in exovivaria also limit affection? What about the distance and perhaps communication delays? Which affective motivations do the Project's modes of interaction and governance attenuate? Which do they enhance?

"Biophilia" was apparently coined by the social psychologist and humanistic philosopher Erich Fromm, in his 1964 book The Heart of Man: Its Genius for Good and Evil''. Fromm did not specifically bring ecological concerns to his discussion (ref. Anderson). However, in his analysis of the Judeo-Christian creation myth, he identified an allegory that was not just negative, but positive as well: it gave human beings the freedom to "to make [their] own history, to develop [their] human powers, and to attain a new harmony with nature."

Edward O. Wilson? reinvented the term biophilia and hypothesized in his book Biophilia: The Human Bond with Other Species that it was an innate, evolved trait. The debate over his hypothesized sociobiological underpinnings overshadowed much of the discussion of the idea.
