>alive
>responsiveness to the environment, growth and change, ability to reproduce, have a metabolism and breathe, maintain homeostasis, being made of cells, and passing traits onto offspring.
Never and neither did Plato nor Whitehead.

plato believed nature, including stars, were ensouled. we can haggle about the definition but lol if you don't think stars have a life cycle.
Xavier Wilson
How do stars reproduce into others stars?
Ensouled doesn't mean alive. Doen't the soul continue on after the body it has inhabited has died? Consciousness shouldn't be described as being alive.
Colton Barnes
What are stars, bros? What's their purpose, their telos? Why do they exist at all? And in such an uncountable number?
Gabriel Phillips
as central sources of illumination in their respective systems, and models for self-integration

At the time Ptolemy wrote his Almagest, scientists used the Planets positions to predict weather.
Who knows, there could be some truth to that. That’s the magic of astrology really, it may be divine, there might be some material connections with our existence and their positioning we are not aware of yet. That’s why it’s so fascinating.

Do you think that the time of our birth carries any significance?
Bentley Wood
nah, man
stars, as societies, have subjectivity i.e. a perspective upon their environment and some vague, uniform feeling of the past and an anticipation for the future; but no, they aren't alive

It definitely does. I can tell different signs apart from each other.
My favorite star is Sirius, the Dog Star, used in Canis Major
Gabriel Lee
Okay but what is the actual deal with Saturn?
Jaxson Brown
I know whitehead isn't a panpsychist, but I really don't care, at both ends of the scale, from simple societies to humans, I believe there is a form of life or presence in stars that rightly qualifies as godhood
