Los múltiples cuestionamientos en torno a la figura del hombre propugnada por el humanismo trajeron aparejada la pregunta por la cuestión animal ¿Hasta qué punto es posible contraponer a los animales a la figura del hombre? ¿Por qué nos resulta tan difícil desprendernos de nuestras viejas concepciones a pesar de la perseverancia de los movimientos antiespecistas? En este ensayo me propongo examinar los presupuestos que, desde el humanismo, mantuvieron alejado al hombre de su entorno y la forma en la que las nuevas perspectivas nos permiten flexibilizar los márgenes que delimitan lo humano y lo no-humano. Especialmente, me interesaría ahondar en torno a la posibilidad de repensar la forma en la que tradicionalmente se definió a la categoría animal y cómo dicha definición afecta enormemente nuestra autopercepción, buscando una complejización y apertura a nuevas modos de entender la subjetividad.

The multiple questioning of the figure of man advocated by humanism brought with it the question of the animal question. To what extent is it possible to oppose animals to the figure of man?
