  The origin of life occupies a very important place in the study of the
evolution. Its liminal location between life and non-life poses special
challenges to researchers who study this subject. Current approaches in
studying the origin and evolution of early life are reductive: they either
reduce the domain of non-life to the domain of life or vice versa. This
contribution seeks to provide a perspective that would avoid reductionism of
any kind. Its goal is to outline a frame that would include both domains and
their respective evolutions as its particular cases. The study examines the
main theoretical perspectives on the origin and evolution of early life and
provides a constructive critique of these perspectives. An objective view
require viewing an object or a phenomenon from all available points of view.
The goal of this contribution is not to prove the current perspectives wrong
and to deny their achievements. It seeks to provide an angle that would be
sufficiently wide and would allow synthesizing current perspectives for a
comprehensive and objective interpretation of the origin end evolution of early
life. In other words, it seeks to outline a frame for an objective view that
will help understand life's place within the universe.
