What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

About this book

What we see, what we understand, is never free from the peculiar “conscious” perception that isolates us in our specificity of individuals and human beings. So for everyone, bats included. Hence, starting from a simple and apparently naive question, a whole wide panorama of great philosophical questions opens up, which in an irresistible crescendo leads the thinker from the problem of the subject-world and mind-body relationship to a question on the possibilities and limits of science and an objective knowledge in general, up to the perspective of a language to come that allows us to open a gap between the many dead ends in which we seem destined.
