Democracy and Education

Meer over het boek

The distinction between living beings and inanimate objects lies in the ability to maintain and renew themselves through interaction with their environment. Unlike a stone that merely resists external forces, living organisms actively transform energies from their surroundings—such as light, air, and soil—into resources for their survival and growth. This process of self-renewal and control over environmental factors is essential for their continued existence, highlighting the dynamic relationship between life and its context.
