DESCRIPTION:The title ‘What is life?’ derives from a book written in 1
 944 by the physicist Erwin Schr¨odinger which controversially merges phys
 ics and biology in order to describe life processes. We want to ask both t
 he sciences and humanities how the phenomenon of life\, and human life in 
 particular (but not exclusively) is transformed into understanding and rep
 resentation in their disciplines. How is the gulf\, in Kant’s sense\, be
 tween actual life and rational understanding of life overcome\, if at all?
  How can materialistic and subjective treatments of ‘life’ be reconcil
 ed? Finally\, what are the consequences for the ethical human being of any
  changed conception of life?\n\nFor more information please refer to our w
