Various philosophies on living §

vitalism ? a belief that starts from the premise that “living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living things because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things.”

materialism ? subphilosophy of monism matter is the fundamental substance of nature, and that all things, including mental states and consciousness, are results of material interactions of material things

^o that’s me

Monism >> philosophical viewpoint which posits that there is only one fundamental substance or reality that makes up the universe

What does Kafkaesque mean? ? Anything kafkaesque is strange, nightmarish, often unnecessarily bureaucratic/complicated. If you said your long, frustrating, and bizarre experience at the Department of Motor Vehicles was kafkaesque, you wouldn’t be the first person to describe it that way.
