LANGUAGE IS VAGUE. “I argue that it is a mistake to try to define ‘life’. Such efforts reflect fundamental misunderstandings about the nature and power of definitions. I don’t think that defining “life” is a very useful activity for scientists to pursue since it is not going to tell us what we really want to know, which is “what is life.” A scientific theory of life (which is not the same as a definition of life) would be able to answer these questions in a satisfying way.”
