| Sumario: | Michel Serres explores the diverse capabilities and metamorphoses of the human body, emphasizing its flexibility and potential in comparison to animals. Through philosophical inquiry, Serres examines how the body can imitate and create, serving as a source of knowledge beyond the five senses. The book intertwines fables and philosophy to illustrate the transformative power of the body and its role in the acquisition of knowledge. Serres draws on the works of philosophers like Spinoza and Nietzsche to argue for the body's centrality in philosophical thought. His work appeals to those interested in philosophy, physical education, and the arts, aiming to bridge the gap between physical experience and intellectual inquiry.
