Abstract
By considering the appearance of animals
rather than their metabolism as a fundamental
dimension of life, Adolf Portmann has
intended to reinforce the comprehensive
version of biology against the overdeveloped
explicative one. In doing so, he assigns a new
task to morphology which approach to living
organisms appears closer to an inventive
translation of their expressiveness than to a
repetitive interpretation of their form.
