The Issue of Differences Between Animated and Inanimate Matter

• Languages of publication: PL

We divide all objects that surround us into inanimate and alive ones. Therefore, in the philosophy of nature we ask a question: Are there any reasons for such a division? Szczepan Ślaga maintains that there are essential differences between inanimate and animated matter, that living matter can not be reduced to inanimate. Since the publication of Ślaga’s latter work nearly twenty years have passed. In biology it is a whole epoch. There have been new discoveries and development in biotechnology. So it is worthwhile to see the problem of differences between animate and inanimate matter from a new perspective. The results in biology show that nature – inanimate and animated – is a unity, ordered only on various levels. And although living organisms are different from inanimate objects, there is no fundamental barrier between animate and inanimate matter.
