Dal riconoscimento al coinvolgimento. Epistemologia e politica del punto di vista animale/From acknowledgment to involvement: Epistemology and politics of the animal standpoint

This essay investigates the extent to which the ‘animal turn’ in posthumanism has broadened the agenda of themes, fostered convergence between the human and natural sciences, and acknowledged the animal point of view. It then analyses how Animal Standpoint Theory (AST) teaches us not to separate the object of discourse from the subject of speech, and how it can inform research ethics that care for relationships with other animals and listen to their claims.
