The animal that therefore I am
Book • 2008
Jacques Derrida's "The Animal That Therefore I Am" is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between humans and animals.
Derrida challenges traditional philosophical approaches to the subject, arguing that the human/animal distinction is a construct that obscures the complex and often ambivalent nature of our interactions with animals.
He uses a blend of philosophical analysis and personal anecdotes to explore the ethical and ontological implications of our treatment of animals.
Derrida's writing is characterized by its complexity and its willingness to challenge established norms.
The book is a significant contribution to the field of animal studies and raises important questions about our responsibilities to other living beings.
It's a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of human-animal relations.
