ARTICOLI / 1 / Federico Leoni /
This article explores some aspects of Bergson’s organology, namely of his interpretation of the differences between what he assumes to be two great paradigms of the living: the insect and the human being. Bergson claims that both insects and humans are organized bodies, i.e. bodies which have organs; however, the insects use their organs “from inside”, humans from “the outside”. From this opposition, this article tries to draw that between the opposition between two kinds of movement as well as two kinds of moving bodies, which we propose to call the automate and the machine. The machine would be the explication of the automate, whereas the automate the implication of the machine.
