summary

Neuronal Man refers to two books from the mid-2000s in which the author, drawing on the concept of plasticity, addresses the philosophical tradition that shaped her by reinterpreting it as a process of transformation between dialectics and deconstruction. In addition, she juxtaposes the organisation of the nervous system with political and social organisation, which determines human experience while also being determined by it. The author develops a radical conception of plasticity based on its transformative nature, refusing to define it as a mere matter of flexibility and adaptability.
