To consider oneself an individual or a subject and to live one's life in a personal way is only one way of being, among other possible ways of being. The definition of what is human has been constituted through the separation of different spheres -ontological, political, epistemological- which ensure the hierarchy of the human being within the species and its primacy with respect to other living beings and things. We will address two topics from which to question these spheres. On the one hand, we seek to understand the notion of life stripped of individuality by introducing concepts such as symbiosis, sympoiesis and metamorphosis. On the other hand, we will address the notion of uncertainty, which not only puts the subject-object relation into crisis, but also allows us to arrive at a relational ontology, which starts with the idea that there is no prior existence of individual objects, but that their constitution takes place within the framework of the relational or nodal character of objects. Both developments are possible by considering perspectivism as a method of distancing ourselves from the metaphysical tradition and the binary logic that structures our thinking in our understanding of reality and the material. However, we seek to address the erasures of the human in a new cartography of the living, in which the world is not understood as a world full of objects, but as a world of relations
