I would define more living or truly living as living the Good Life. What that looks like is the fundamental question of philosophy, but I think a component we haven’t touched on yet is helping others. I don’t think we should help other people because it gives us a happy experience, but because it fulfills who we ought to be.
And to live is to experience. 😝
Not necessarily, living longer could be at odds with experiences like sky diving or bull running.
Are you saying that it’s all about how long we live? If so, I disagree. I think it’s about how -much- we live.
I don’t think that, but saying ‘the purpose of life is to live’ implies more life is more better.
Then we agree, lol. “Living” more is experiencing more, right?
I didn’t think living=experiencing.
How do you define “more life?”

Philosophers may question what the good life is, but each individual decides for themselves. There is no universal right answer.
