Fronteiras da ética na relação homem - animal: a invisibilidade das outras espécies através do enlace entre filosofia, antropologia, literatura e psicanálise

Abstract

The study in question has as topic the analyst of relationships, of borders, between man and animals. The desertification of the planet - literally, as the end of life?s diversity - in the moral field, it would be represented as a blind spot that hiders the inclusion of other species in the right to live in its fullness. As if animals were invisible to us. Therefore, one of the big problems is knowing who the other is, the target of the consequence of our actions. It is the field of practical philosophy that points to the need to ethically review our relationships with them, not only to stop us from infringing a moral duty, but also for us, as the future of human species. Thus, the present research will seek to circumscribe this blind spot that would make animal ethics difficult. As a matter of fact, in general, we could also question ourselves about racism and colonialism in general. We hope that along this path we can conclude that what is at stake is not just the subject in his life projects, since men and animals yearn for the same: life, in its relative freedom to reinvent its ways, and love.
