Iyyun

The concept of "life", which is at the center of the current issue of Iyyun, invites us, in this spirit, to think about human existence as part of a wide and heterogeneous spectrum of non-human life forms. These forms not only challenge the privileged status of the human in relation to non-human life (the perception of man as the crown of creation), but also serve as a reminder of the essential sequences that bind the human to the organic body, to its mobility and to the processes of change that always exist in it; in particular, they shed light on the connections between the developed human consciousness and that initial openness - which is realized in vitality, in sensitivity to stimuli - of the organism to the world, as well as emphasizing the existence of additional sequences between the still and the living in nature (and today, by analogy, between the technological and the living) and between the living and the dead.
