Preferred term

life (spirtuality)  

Definition

  • The concept of life has a long history within Western political theory and philosophy, but its importance has increased significantly in recent years. Since Aristotle's exclusion of natural life from the realm of politics and the correlative formulation of bios politicos or a distinctively political way of life, the concept of life has presented numerous complexities for political theory, perhaps as much as it has in areas such as philosophy of biology and moral philosophy, albeit in different ways.
