Concept of Life, Evolution, Living Being, NatureAbstract
From an evolutionary point of view, life is simply a particular manifestation of matter expressed as organisms that change form in the timeline of earth. Living beings represent and continue it from a remote past into an unknown future. The whole is called nature. Contrary to life, death constitutes a necessary stage for the biological process continues to take its course and express new forms and events. In this context, our reflection searches to make sense of the concept of the individual as a real fact of life compared to the collective value of abstract nature.
