The Animal Side is a manifesto on the importance of animals for
human thought. It attempts to characterize the importance, for
human beings, of the fact that animals exist. Adopting a
philosophical and poetic approach, the book seeks to show that
animals’ ways of inhabiting the earth are, for human
consciousness, an expansion and an exploration of what philosophers
and poets have tried to name by speaking of the Open. Beginning
with the story of an encounter with a deer on a road at night, the
book proceeds by showing that, beyond the diversity of animal life
and the ways animals differ from human beings, there is a “layer
of the perceptible” on which we all draw, humans and animals
alike, in our own ways. At present, however, this layer itself is
at risk. Thus the book can also be read as a defense and
illustration of animals’ modes of being, and as a plea for their
survival.
