Die mensdom is maar een van verskeie spesies wat die aarde bewoon. Gebaseer op die wyse waarop hulle egter beheer neem oor al die natuurlike hulpbronne en die oppervlak van die aarde herorganiseer deur reuse stede, kommunikasienetwerke, infrastruktuur en tegnologie tot stand te bring, blyk dit asof hulle die dominante spesie is. Tog, op die evolusionêre skaal van organiese ontwikkeling is hulle maar ʼn redelike onlangse toevoeging. In hierdie verhandeling word daar ʼn filosofiese beskrywing gegee van hoe ʼn deterministiese kosmos dit kon regkry om gedeeltelik lewendig te word. Daar word gedemonstreer hoe die kosmos in sigself die besonderse vermoë het om materiële en organiese strukture van hoë kompleksiteit te produseer – en hoe hierdie strukture lewendig, selfbewus en moreel aktief raak. Dit word geargumenteer dat die mens in die boesem van die kosmos ontwikkel het deur middel van inherente natuurwette om uiteindelik teleologiese agente van ʼn hoë orde te wees. Hulle verteenwoordig dus daardie besonderse gedeelte van die kosmos wat oor hul eie bestaan kan nadink, wat kennis oor hul unieke aard kan ontwikkel en daaruit ʼn toekomsvisie projekteer.
