This commentary presents a series of short fragments inspired by the TCS New Encyclopaedia entries under ‘Vitalism’. Here, it is suggested that vitalism is a ‘nonhumanism’ that invites us to consider the supernatural and the theological aspects of the natural. Vitalism, it is argued, has nothing to do with ‘Being’, but is a philosophy of becoming that is the opposite of being. Vitalism attempts to articulate the non-living within the living – as that which always takes life outside of itself. As such, Vitalism is the threshold of our capacity to think life; the limit of the relation between ‘thought’ and ‘life’.
