Description
Vampyroteuthis Infernalis A Treatise, with a Report by the Institut Scientifique de Recherche Paranaturaliste is a thought-provoking exploration of human existence through the lens of an extraordinary marine creature. Vilém Flusser draws parallels between our species and that of the vampire squid, revealing unexpected similarities in our shared experiences as beings confined to specific domains. This unique blend of scientific inquiry, philosophical discourse, and fable challenges conventional notions of animality and embodiment. By examining the life of an "other" - one that is fundamentally different from ourselves - Flusser opens up new avenues for understanding human existence. The result is a posthumanist philosophical framework that offers a fresh perspective on phenomenology. This book invites readers to reconsider their relationship with the world around them, and to think anew about what it means to be alive.
