How do you guys define life? What constitutes "being alive"?

How do you guys define life? What constitutes "being alive"?

Are you looking for a biological definition or is this some dumb attempt at a shitty philosophy thread?

"Science & Math", nothing about philosophy.

>shitty philosophy thread

Your bias is showing.

Empricism is Science.
Science falls under Philosophy.
Induction, Deduction, Coherency, Consistency, etc.
Blah blah blah.
Not all philosophy is the same.
Get out.

>Science falls under Philosophy.
Naw man.

Biological definition.

>noun, plural: lives. (1) A distinctive characteristic of a living organism from dead organism or non-living thing, as specifically distinguished by the capacity to grow, metabolize, respond (to stimuli), adapt, and reproduce.

Is a virus alive?

Crystals do most of those things, too. Are Crystals alive?
