- Title
Kinds of Life: On the Phenomenological Basis of the Distinction between "Higher" and "Lower" Animals.
- Authors
Bailey, Christiane
- Abstract
Drawing upon Husserl and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological constitution of the Other through Einfühlung, I argue that the hierarchical distinction between higher and lower animals-which has been dismissed by Heidegger for being anthropocentric-must not be conceived as an objective distinction between "primitive" animals and "more evolved" ones, but rather corresponds to a phenomenological distinction between familiar and unfamiliar animals.
