| Synopsis | In 2020, during the months of the most intense lockdown, social media was filled with videos in which wild animals were seen roaming the deserted streets of various urban centers. These scenes, similar to the enigmatic films of Luis Buñuel, were a fleeting reminder of the lives despised by the whirlwind of economic progress; a year after they were captured, the summer of 2021 was characterized by heat waves and fires that broke all known records. Without a doubt, humanity's responsibility with respect to its environment and the beings with whom it shares it becomes a topic of urgent reflection. In the last volume of this philosophical history of animals, some of the most current and radical proposals on the animal question are problematized by prominent Latin American thinkers, as an effort to detonate and enrich this urgent debate. Within these pages the reader will find reflections on the famous encounter between Friedrich Nietzsche and a horse on the outskirts of Turin; a deep elaboration on the proposal of animal becoming in Gilles Deleuze; the intersections between feminist and animalist proposals of the philosopher Rosi Braidotti; a very interesting reading of the literary work of the writer J. M. Coetzee; among other equally stimulating and necessary texts. |
