We are all a little bit Cerberus: towards bioethical applicability of animalism
I consider the applicability of the animalism in the framework of bioethical discussions — in particular related to situations in which a person is the cause of an event that is outside of her intentions, for example, infection with a dangerous disease. Animal or living organism are more adequate...

| description |
I consider the applicability of the animalism in the framework of bioethical discussions — in particular related to situations in which a person is the cause of an event
that is outside of her intentions, for example, infection with a dangerous disease.
Animal or living organism are more adequate concept for posing this problem
than the ‘Lockean’, psychological, personality. However, the conceptualization of
the animal, proposed by the most famous animalist Eric Olson, turns out to be
inappropriate for the bioethical formulation of bioethical problems. I suppose that
Olson’s logic striving to cleanse the animal of everything that can be recognized as
not proper part of it to some extent repeats the logic of constructing a transcendental
subject. At the same time, the complexity of some bioethical problems emerges
due to the impossibility of relying on the concept of a transcendental subject. The
figure of Cerberus, a two-headed animal, and a single agent, allows to develop
an alternative interpretation of the animal (living organism), more comprehensively
characterizing who is involved in bioethical collisions. The article outlines the image
of a single but distributed agent. As an example of such biological (animalistic), but
also cognitive (psychological) distribution, I suggest the animal’s possession of the
inner and skin microbiome. |
