The Vital Question: Why is life the way it is?

Vitalism Wikipedia February 4th, 2019 Vitalism is the belief that living organisms are fundamentally different from non living entities because they contain some non physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things a Where vitalism explicitly invokes a vital principle that element is often referred to as the vital spark energy or élan vital which some equate with the soul
