englischLike every science, biology also needs its philosophy. Because without clear basic concepts, it can neither understand nor organize its subject area. “Leben als Sein” ("Life as Being") develops such a philosophy by clarifying the concept of 'aliveness'. Aliveness, according to Aristotle, is not just a property of a living being, but its mode of existence or its temporal being in process. Based on this understanding, it is possible to make a fundamental distinction between the animate and inanimate and, for example, to explore the possibilities and limits of synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. - Peter Heuer studied philosophy, biology and psychology and researches the ontology of nature and the subjective mind.
