Blog post 6 Derrida “The animal That therefore I am”
Derrida Mentions his point of view on what he has become and that there is on the more he wants to follow as to “I am following” is as to how he is “after the animal”. “inasmuch” he is alongside” he will become like them more. Where He will end up become an animal while been near animals and that’s why he follows them as a chase of feelings. Derrida views the ideas of other philosopher as it’s something that animals have no way of respond to a specife language because its only seen as something that can´t be define or it’s unable to be understandable. Do to the only thing that a cat can say is “purred” and with out knowing what it actually is says. They think it’s ethier a yes or a no. Two of the animality that are looked at are “gaze” and “seen seen” by what is known of what it is. And since it’s seen by animals, what do I see and what is the difference between both of us. Some of the ambiguities that he finds between competing account is that god creates man in his image but he brings male and female into the world at the same time. Naming will thus have been the fact of man as a couple, if it can be put that way. Where man is the one who follows the animals as to where at the end woman comes. “The husbandman cried out the name of each beast,” one translation (Chouraqui) says; another (Dhormes): “Man called all the animals by their names” (Gen. 2:20).Let me repeat: it is only recorded thus in the second narrative. If one believes what is called the first narrative, God creates man in his image but he brings male and female into the world at the same time 387. Derrida respone to this is that the word is have ¨both a general and strict sense: what abuts onto limits as Limitrophy – growth nourishment (thinking) of boundary in difference. Also what feeds, is fed, is cared for, raised, and trained, what is cultivated on the edges of a limit. Derrida’s response is that “”I am uttering an asinanity” should confirm not only the animality that he is disavowing but his complicit, continued and organized involvement in a veritable war of the species. Such are my hypotheses in view of theses on the animal, on animals, on the word animal or animals.”
