Martin Huth INTERANIMALITY AND ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF HUMAN-ANIMAL RELATIONS 1. Introduction 155 The aim of this paper is to present a general framework for a phenomenological analysis of human-animal relations (HARs). Of course, it is impossible to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of HARs within the confines of such a short text. Instead I only intend to provide the basic and most important prerequisites for the analysis of our being-with-animals. The phenomenological framework that I will be presenting is built on three major cornerstones: the interspecies intercorporeality we are inevitably immersed in; the distinctions between humans and animals, and between different animals themselves; and the possibility of animal encounters that disturb habituated normalities in our being-with-animals. After a short stroll through some classical reflections on animals in philosophy, and particularly in phenomenology (with the intention of providing a general foil for the proposed analysis and its benefits), I will start off by drawing on Husserl´s work in general, and Merleau-Ponty´s concepts of intercorporeality (Merleau- Ponty 1964: 168) and interanimality (Merleau-Ponty 2003: 189) in particular, in an attempt to clarify the “being-with-animals” as an immanent part of our “being-to-the-world”. As bodily beings, we are constantly engaged in dialog with animals. So, interpreting animals as natural objects can only be considered as the result of a kind of subsequent objectification that is justified
