Fernando Miguel Pérez Herranz, Ambiguus proteus: valor, exceso y morfología. Madrid/Oviedo, Brumaria/Eikasía, 2019, 808 págs.

Abstract

Told with expansive rhetoric, the book establishes an intense conversation with the reader. It begins with the invocation of Proteus. Proteus was a sea god who herded Poseidon's herds of seals; he was capable of metamorphosing like an animal, like a tree, like water, like fire... to escape everyone who questioned him; he was a prophet who refused to speak. However, the book that it sponsors is tightly constructed, like a geometry of philosophical Ideas. The three ideas of the title: Excess, Morphology and Value, are clearly built on the three intentional levels that phenomenology distinguishes. The excess is built on the original higher level (quantum-phenomenological); the morphology on the intermediation level; and value on the intentional level of objective praxis.
