To engage with the phenomenology of life means to focus not on the adaptive characteristics of living beings, but on what drives each living entity to adapt by entering into relationships with its surroundings. This is not about describing the forms, functions, expressions, and specific interactions between organisms—a task belonging to evolutionary biology and descriptive ecology—but rather about highlighting the metapredicates of life that underlie the adoption of certain predicative traits. This chapter emphasizes above all the intrinsically relational condition of life, its inherent intentionality, its evolution through implicit reliance on external factors, its dissipative condition of inherited information, and its development through interactions with other living beings.
