Vivere l’umano al di là dell’antropocentrismo

The deconstruction of the oppositional hierarchy between human and non-human life, according to the author, opens the way to a thought of life and living things that may be able of thinking about identities and recogniz- ing differences, without reducing them, animalizing man or humanizing the animal. This takes place in the lucid awareness, regained today from a scien- tific point of view, of the common origin and the united destiny of all living beings. In fact, we share a genetic and epigenetic dynamics with animals and also with plants, as countless scientific researches show us. That predefines the task of thinking together the common belonging and the articulations, the gaps, without fearing homologies and without hiding the differences.
