WHEN ANIMALS AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BEYOND HUMAN GRASPING

Abstract

This essay explores the “wealth of openness” Heidegger leaves open for the animals. This other open provides a possible outside beyond the dialectic of human-animal as figured by Agamben's anthropological machine. Producing ways of thinking this beyond serves as the frame by which essays in this collection are then introduced.

Keywords:

• Agamben
• Heidegger
