Description
On Time, Being and Hunger challenges traditional ways of thinking about life by questioning fundamental concepts such as time, finality, and being.
Garrido argues that we need to rethink our understanding of "being" in light of modern discourses and techniques concerning living beings. He draws on the work of philosophers Aristotle, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida, as well as scientific breakthroughs in thermodynamics and biology, to explore what it means to be alive.
This study examines the notion of hunger, both in its metaphysical and political implications, to establish new ways of asking: What is life?
