Resumen

Partiendo de la fenomenología del cuerpo de Merleau-Ponty, de la ética del cuidado y de la filosofía de la etología, este artículo interdisciplinario describe a los animals extra-humanos no en función de sus semejanzas o diferencias con respecto a los seres humanos adultos típicos, sino como sujetos incorporados, vulnerables, comunicativos y dotados de agencia, que perciben, significan y actúan intencionalmente en sus propios Umwelten. Además, se recurre a la Teoría de los Intereses de los Derechos y a la Bundle Theory para argumentar que la personalidad jurídica no necesita basarse en la personalidad moral; es decir, los animales pueden ser personas jurídicas incluso sin ser personas morales. En una dirección distinta, se adopta la postura fenomenológica y se incorporan contribuciones de la ética del cuidado para reflexionar sobre las implicaciones éticas de la alianza entre especies, cuyos miembros comparten una vulnerabilidad común y multifacética, se comunican de manera incorporada y cocrean sentido en la “carne del mundo”. Con base en ello, se defiende la existencia de un deber humano de reconocimiento, escucha y respuesta ante la agencia animal, proponiéndose una metodología fenomenológico-etológica para identificar y traducir los intereses y preferencias de los animales en derechos subjetivos legales, adoptando como punto de partida sus propios puntos de vista.
