That's all the information I have aside from an article in textbook of mine. I usually understand a philosopher as coherent even if I disagree with him. However, I can't even see how his argument unfolds in a logical form? I feel like I'm missing something important, perhaps with respect to Aristotle's concept of "telos."

Is anyone familiar with Biocentric Egalitarianism who might be able to explain it to me, perhaps in a premise conclusion, syllogism, type fashion?

Thanks
