Not being able to accept Professor Haeckel's doctrine of Panpsychism, I propose what might best be called Panbiotism, briefly set forth in the maxim πᾶν βιωτόν; that is, everything is fraught with life; it contains life; it has the ability to live... The stone possesses no soul; it is void of mentality; and... There is potentiality of feeling, but there is no consciousness... The world is not merely the sum of all its atoms... On the contrary: the world as a whole, existence in its oneness, or speaking religiously God, is alone the only true reality; all other things and beings are parts of him... There are no atoms in themselves. Atoms regarded as things in themselves are a scientific superstition.

Etymology
From pan- (“all”) + Ancient Greek βίος (bíos, “life”) + -ism. Initially coined by Paul Carus in contradistinction with Ernst Haeckel's panpsychism, the belief all physical matter is ensouled. See: Ancient Greek Nouns '
βίος'.
