Evolving Paradigms in the Search for Advanced Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Robert Powell

Our nascent search for advanced extraterrestrial life is driven by humanity’s

anthropocentric tendencies. These tendencies much change to a more open-

minded, multi-faceted, and scientifically rigorous approach to one of humanity's

most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? This question is

addressed from both a deductive and inductive perspective. Science’s approach to

this question is changing, new paradigms will be needed, and an answer to this

question may provide us with a new view of ourselves.
