The traditional way of understanding life, as a self-appropriating
and self-organizing process of not ceasing to exist, of taking care
of one's own hunger, is challenged by today's unprecedented
proliferation of discourses and techniques concerning the living
being. This challenge entails questioning the fundamental concepts
of metaphysical thinking, namely, time, finality, and, above all,
being. Garrido argues that today we are in a position to repeat
Nietzsche's assertion that there is no other representation of
"being" than that of "living." But in order to carry out this
deconstruction of ontology, we need to find new ways of asking
"What is life?"
In this study, Garrido establishes the basic elements of the
question concerning life through readings of Aristotle, Nietzsche,
Heidegger, and Derrida; through the discussion of scientific
breakthroughs in thermodynamics and evolutionary and developmental
biology; and through the reexamination of the notion of hunger in
both its metaphysical and its political implications.
