Man emerges from his moving images as, at the same time, they emerge from him. Edgar Morin does not think of "man" as a fact, not as a given, consciousness or body, nor as a self-evident, unnoticed, dominant initial condition, but as emergent, as emerging, and as relational, namely specifically emerging from his entanglement with the moving images. This emergence and entanglement occurs thereby always and at all times through film, not in the paleo-anthropological sense of an original and completed becoming human. "Man" in Morin's work is a supervening effect that is so entangled with the conditions of its taking off or onset, and above all so reactive upon them, that cause and effect, earlier and later, etc., become indistinguishable. Imaginary and factual, projection and identification, anthropo- and cosmomorphism, death and life are fundamentally entangled by film before they even separate. This is what Morin's book is about, entirely focused on film as conditional and as a medium of human emergence, i.e. existence.
