Description
A partir de los desarrollos de Thomas Sebeok, la zoosemiótica se ha establecido en los últimos años como una disciplina muy visitada por su novedoso abordaje del vínculo entre las características de la comunicación de los seres humanos y los animales no humanos, así como también se ha revelado como un enfoque crítico de los supuestos antropocéntricos tras la idea de limitar el análisis de la semiosis al lenguaje humano. Este enfoque ha explicitado que la zoosemiótica puede realizar importantes aportes a la reflexión ética. De allí que el objetivo de este artículo sea analizar los aspectos actuales de la articulación entre la ética filosófica y la zoosemiótica. A través de este examen se argumentará que el análisis zoosemiótico tiene la potencialidad de realizar contribuciones teóricas tanto a la ética animal, ámbito el cual ya ha sido explorado por varios/as filósofos/as contemporáneos/as, como también a la ética normativa tradicional.
From the developments of Thomas Sebeok, zoosemiotics has established itself in recent years as a highly visited discipline due to its novel approach to the link between the communication characteristics of human beings and non-human animals, as well as it has also been revealed as a critical approach to the anthropocentric assumptions behind the idea of limiting the analysis of semiosis to human language. This approach has made it explicit that zoosemiotics can make important contributions to ethical reflection. Hence, the objective of this article is to analyze the current characteristics of the articulation between philosophical ethics and zoosemiotics. Through this examination it will be argued that zoosemiotic analysis has the potential to make theoretical contributions both to animal ethics, a field which has already been explored by several contemporary philosophers, as well as to traditional normative ethics.
