My Dear Awori, The question of what is life is complex both in question and in answer. More complex is even the fact that there cannot be one and only answer to which people will accept or reject. I would rather think that yours is the physicist defination of life. Metaphysicians may rather define "life as a moment in being, of what is as it is and of what is not as it is not" Whether it is a moment of what is or is not, it carries with it an meaning. Thus meaning making is what life is hence man is said to be a meaning maker.

In heated discourse about the meaning of nature---I was one time asked to define life. This is what I said: "Life is a moment in space and time". To my disappointment--I got no reaction from the group. Is it because I was absurdly wrong? I have continued to use this response as my standard explanation of what life is. Has anyone in out there given this age old subject a better look? AA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Epistemology" group.
