Re-enchanting Biology: how does a root grow when we decide to look at it?

ABSTRACT

How does a root grow when you decide to look at it? This has been one of the questions that has posed a quest to re-enchant biology. This search is not based on a sequence of previously determined steps, but on the possibility of experimenting with the scientific knowledge introduced in the discipline of biology. The need to re-enchant assumes a disenchantment, this one produced by the hierarchy of species in evolutionary stories told even before they happen. Fragments of the Botanical Experimentation course are brought to give clues on how to create a body without organs and how this makes it possible to shuffle the senses so that biology is reinvented.
