What are they living for? This question arises again in the face of the great challenges of the period - dealing with a global epidemic, climate crisis and changing the face of the earth, the takeover of the capitalist market and with it technologies that strive for the constant "improvement" of life. How is the uniqueness of the animal to be understood today in the face of lifeless reality bikes? What is the difference between the organic and the artificial, between real and virtual life, naked life and worthy life? Is life a concept of unity, or as in Hebrew, a concept based in the first place on plurality?

The purpose of the volume is to offer theoretical tools for thinking about 'life' at this time, from the diverse range of forms and meanings they take. Against the background of the ancient distinction between life as an essential characteristic of the organic being and life as a human formation that requires construction and design, between "being alive" and "living" (in the active and rich sense of the word), the journal invites researchers to deepen the discussion of the nature And the meaning of life, the right to life, and the conditions for the emergence and disappearance of life forms. This invitation is a challenge for a thought that seeks to act in the present to prevent the depletion of life and ecological destruction, as well as for the creation of new forms of free life.
