Життя

“Життя” (translated as “life” in English) is a fundamental concept that refers to the condition characteristic of living organisms. It encompasses biological processes such as growth, reproduction, functioning, and continual change preceding death. Life is often defined by various criteria, including the ability to respond to stimuli, metabolism, homeostasis, and the capacity for evolution and adaptation. In a broader philosophical context, “життя” can also refer to the experiences, activities, and existence of an individual or community. It signifies not just the biological aspect, but also personal, social, and existential dimensions, encompassing all experiences and meanings derived from living.
