¿Qué es la vida? y ¿A qué venimos?

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to reflect on the initial questions of this topic, trying to establish ideas and discuss supposed conclusions given in the course of the history of philosophical work, trying to ensure that reason, discernment, analysis and reflection always prevail. METHOD: the methodology used is hermeneutics-descriptive, the thought, opinions and different criteria expressed for many years by different philosophers and thinkers of the modern, postmodern, contemporary and ancient times were discussed. RESULTS: it has been detected that the two initial questions of this topic are not the object of competences or didactic-pedagogical concern in the thematic contents of the related courses in the different careers or specialties in higher education, which we verified in the university classrooms at attempt to answer these questions. CONCLUSION: when trying to answer the question what is life? It could be considered that it is like a plant that cannot grow or develop on its own since it needs other elements to survive and show the fullness of its beauty. It is like the necessary and transcendental time to understand what is happening around us and understand the reason for all this.
