A philosophical or biological concept that emphasizes the importance of the head or brain in defining an organism.
From Greek 'kephalē' (head) + '-ism' (suffix forming doctrines or systems). This creates an -ism term similar to 'organism' or 'centralism,' emphasizing the head as central.
Throughout history, philosophers and biologists have debated what makes something 'alive' or important—'cephalism' represents the idea that having a head (and thus a brain) is the key feature that matters most in the animal kingdom!
