Towards Morpho-logy

Abstract

The “death of God” brought to light a new “prediscursive” knowledge that favours both the emergence of new symbolic structures and an “ecological” turn in the theory of image. Thanks to this knowledge, the Anschauung or intuition, which had been relegated to the status of an objectified residue of a much more complete knowledge −that of the image−, regains its original (and final) dimension paving the way for a new rationality. Through the acknowledgement of the depth of the Anschauung, it appears a logic of the structure of the image that seems to adjoin with a logic of form. That form is understood as a structure of co-belonging of self and nature, subject and object. It could also be described as a morpho-logic, a logic that articulates intuition, the Anschauung, and that expresses it as a complex structure in the image.
