Most approaches to animal ethics ground the moral standing of
nonhumans in some appeal to their capacities for intelligent
autonomy or mental sentience. "Corporal Compassion "emphasizes the
phenomenal and somatic commonality of living beings; a philosophy
of body that seeks to displace any notion of anthropomorphic
empathy in viewing the moral experiences of nonhuman living beings.
Ralph R. Acampora employs phenomenology, hermeneutics,
existentialism and deconstruction to connect and contest analytic
treatments of animal rights and liberation theory. In doing so, he
focuses on issues of being and value, and posits a felt nexus of
bodily being, termed symphysis, to devise an interspecies ethos.
Acampora uses this broad-based bioethic to engage in dialogue with
other strains of environmental ethics and ecophilosophy.
"Corporal Compassion" examines the practical applications of the
somatic ethos in contexts such as laboratory experimentation and
zoological exhibition and challenges practitioners to move past
recent reforms and look to a future beyond exploitation or total
noninterference--a posthumanist culture that advocates caring in a
participatory approach.
