Corporeal? The best and least misleading answer is No. (There is a pedantic sense in which the answer is Yes, because “anything to do with” is pretty broad and vague.)
Idea about the nature of the entire universe? Yes! *sustained applause* To do with logic? No. Relate to death? The best answer is No, though an indirect argument could be made for Yes.
University Philosophy? I'm not an expert in university philosophy curricula, but I'll speculate as follows: the AOTC would show up somewhere in the curriculum but is unlikely to make an appearance in an Introduction to Philosophy subject. The AOTC has an entry in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and Britannica. Plato's cave? No. Has anyone said Existentialism yet? No. Is Existentialism the AOTC? No. (I'd put that more in the vicinity of Spiritualism on the M-m scale.) Does it entail a belief in predestination? You just had to ask that, didn't you? No.
Enjoying this? Yes and No. Whenever an AVMA takes this long, I worry that either I have made it too hard or that I have inadvertently misled people with a less than perfect answer. Old Greek? The idea of the AOTC can in some sense be traced back to the very earliest days of recorded philosophy, which of course includes quite a few old Greeks. That said, I don't think the AOTC is associated with a particular OG who was a "major proponent". (It's not like, say, stoicism, where—if you know about the topic—you'd immediately link it to Epictetus.) Simulation hypothesis? No.
Vitalism? No.*applause of the kind that indicates that even though the answer is in some sense completely wrong, it is also absolutely the right kind of guess*Hidden textRemember that the audience have been watching this game for decades and have absolutely figured out the nuances of applause. Deism? No.
Clarification: While "vitalism" (at least as I understand it) is indeed in some sense completely wrong, it is nonetheless oddly close to the AOTC. Raak is definitely thinking along the right lines. Also, the "O, rocks!" quote is not a clue of any kind.
Human exceptionalism? No. *audience laughter* Buddhism? No. The AOTC, as already noted, is not religious but is a concept that is spiritual/religion-adjacent. The adjacent spiritual/religious idea is present in Buddhism.
That was not an easy one to find! I only got it because of the subject being recently treated on the "In Our Time" podcast. So thanks to Melvyn Bragg and his guests. The next round is now starting, hold on to the straps. The sentient baton suggests ABSTRACT.
Fun physics? No. Fun life? No, although humans have and have had a great interest in the AOTC. It's not an occupation, either. Earthbound? So far as anyone knows, only on Earth.
Observable? There are observations of this occurring. Economic? No. Aristotelian? Didn't know him personally, but the concept was almost certainly around then.
Biology? Arguments start among the audience. Life and death and so forth are all biological, but this is not usually considered to be a biological process. Rebirth? No, but the audience really like it. Appreciation is shown.
It's not metamorphosis, enlightenment is nice but completely off beam, "renaissance" is a good try but "the Renaissance" is totally wrong. The audience are collecting tomatoes to throw.
Not cryonics, not rejuvenation, but definitely Resurrection! (We started this around Easter, so it seemed appropriate.) Congratulations to CdM, who gets to take this stone baton and roll it away. Don't forget to like, subscribe, or leave a review.
Fixed location? Interesting question. If I wanted to be tricky, I'd give a straightforward and honest answer of No. But a more helpful answer is: Yes, when understood in the context of the AOTC.
Vegetable that resembles non-vegetable? Resemble is a tricky word. I’d say more No than Yes as the word is typically used, but—stretching the meaning of resemble to its broader senses—you could plausibly say Yes.
As a ps to my answer to Tuj, the absence of a fixed location in general is certainly useful information as well.
Is it alive? No. But be careful about your assumptions. Associated with a particular season? No. * a certain tension in the air intimates that the audience almost wants to applaud but knows it shouldn’t* Legible? No.
