Kurzbeschreibung
"Science is interesting precisely because it relates to me. It is a human function just as much as breathing is: it is an existential interest. And an entirely objective science would be uninteresting, inhuman. The search for scientific objectivity is revealing itself in its continual advancement not as a search for "purity", but as pernicious madness. The present essay demands that we give up the ideal of objectivity in favour of other intersubjective scientific methods." ---- "De te fabula narratur". Thus starts this paranaturalist treatise by Vilém Flusser. Author of the seminal Towards a Philosophy of Photography (1984) and "Ins Universum der Technischen Bilder" (1985), Flusser introduces us here to an infernal creature from the oceanic abysses, our long lost relative, who slowly emerges, not from the oceans, but from our own depths to gaze spitefully into our eyes and reflect back at us our own existence. ---- Originally published only in German in 1987, this version has been edited and translated by Rodrigo Maltez Novaes, Ph.D. candidate at the European Graduate School, Saas-Fee, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Siegfried Zielinski, from the original, unpublished and extended Brazilian-Portuguese version of the manuscript recently found at the Vilém Flusser Archive at the Universität der Kunst, Berlin. This edition is also accompanied by a selection of previously unpublished excerpts from Flusser's correspondence with Milton Vargas and Dora Ferreira da Silva, with whom he discussed the development of the present text.

Amazing journey into the deep
8. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book on a whim, and what a trip it took me on. I've read a lot in my life, but this book is unlike any other I've read, so it's a bit hard to characterize.
Flusser analyzes how our our posistion in the phylogentic tree fundamentally controls our philosophy, art, language and culture. That's maybe not so orginal. But the counter example to our culture is that of the vampire squid, who lives in eternal darkness 3,000 ft. below sea level. And the book is first and foremost about the squid world.
The first half details the curious facts of the squid's existence: behavior, biology, mating behavior,etc. But then the fun starts when building on that biological understanding, Flusser begins to explicate the art, culture and philosophy of these sentient beings. And who could imagine that the squid even has a culture or philosophy? Or art? Or love? Don't have to go to space to encounter aliens, they are just a few miles away. And what could we possibly have in common with these bizarre animals?
You need to get through the rather detailed description of squid life before you get onto the philosophical musings. I found the book totally delightful. 120 pages. Brazilian means a translation of the Brazilian version. He also wrote a version in German...enjoy!

the depths of hell and back
15. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
The atmospheric writing style is unlike any other I've encountered while reading philosophy, and I truly feel like I've plunged into the depths with the Vampyroteuthis and stared into its monstrous octopoid eyes. In a search for objectivity we come face to face with our subjectivity, and Flusser illustrates this with a stark and unique approach.
A clear and elegant translation by Mr Maltez Novaes of this fascinating text by Flusser, further elucidated by the unique inclusion of Flusser's correspondence with fellow thinkers Milton Vargas and Dora Ferreira da Silva. I'm glad I picked it up.
