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.
