"Vampyroteuthis Infernalis: A Treatise" by Vilém Flusser is a fascinating exploration that blurs the boundaries between science, philosophy, and fable. Flusser ponders the human condition while examining the enigmatic "vampire squid from hell." This work offers a unique posthumanist perspective on phenomenology and opens the way for a nonphilosophy of life. It's both inquisitive and whimsical, combining the best work of Flusser and Louis Bec. If you're curious about animal cognition, philosophy, and art, this classic treatise is worth exploring¹. 🦑 Sources (1) Vampyroteuthis Infernalis — U
