Description
Vampyroteuthis Infernalis is an exploration of the human experience through the lens of science. Flusser argues that scientific objectivity is unattainable, and instead, we should adopt intersubjective methods to understand the world around us. This treatise introduces readers to a fascinating creature from the oceanic abysses, which serves as a metaphor for our own existence. Originally published in German in 1987, this English translation offers a unique perspective on Flusser's philosophy of science and its connection to human experience. The book includes previously unpublished excerpts from Flusser's correspondence with other thinkers, providing insight into the development of his ideas.
