i am unclear about what is being asked here. are you wondering about "life" in a way that operates beneath human representations and so a conception of life that is not anthropomorphic? (one function of this might be to provide a foil relative to which the limits of anthropomorphic representations might be outlined--an operation that is not as easy as you might think at first.)
or is this more a metaphysical question, on the order of "what are we doing here?"
these aren't at all the same question.
