A short, yet deep dive into Roberto Marchesini's animal ontology. Exploring Marchesini's thought, this video essay brings forward many of his philosophical and ethological concepts that end up paving the way for a new and vital model of animal subjectivity. Enriching our understanding of what it means to be an animal being, Marchesini's philosophy offers an anti-anthropocentric and anti-speciesist conceptualization that frames the human as a particular kind of animal, rather than a "special" one, while reframing animality as an open condition.
