    The document argues that cells, tissues and organisms should be viewed as agents that have goals and agendas of their own. It asserts that viewing life in this way provides a more comprehensive understanding of biology, as it acknowledges that different levels of biological organization can have conflicting interests. The essay outlines an "agency-based" framework that aims to explain how cooperation and conflict between individual goals at different biological scales underpins life and evolution.
