MULTIDIMENSIONALITY AND BIOLOGICAL LEARNING:

AN ESSAY ON THE CONDITION OF BEING ALIVE

Abstract

The act of knowing and learning is a condition of every organism endowed with life. We know, not because we are human, but because we are alive and immersed in experiences and existentialities. To live, it is necessary to be conscious of being alive and available to life, and to answer the following question: what moves the construction of ideas?   The objective of this paper is to discuss, in an essayistic way, the transdiciplinary and complex aspects of the construction of biological knowledge and to propose a biology capable of connecting the sciences, the arts and the humanities. A biology as a discourse on life and living beings, capable of assimilating the impossibility of a boundary between the living and the non-living world.
