Summary/Abstract: The present paper represents a phenomenological reflexion on the question of animality. Drawing from a selection of phenomenological texts, ranging from Husserl and Heidegger to MauriceMerleau-Ponty, the author pleads for a different view of animality than that which would posita neatly cut anthropological difference between the human subject and animal. In the final sectionof the text, the difficult question of inter-animality (as opposed to intersubjectivity) is treated insome detail.
