摘要

This article examines the concepts of ＂the animal＂ and ＂animality＂ in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, particularly in response to the recent debates in the fields of Animal Studies and Posthumanism, as well as in response to the revelation of the Black Notebooks where earlier statements regarding the animal being ＂poor in world＂ also find a resonance with Heidegger's meditations on the relationship between the German people (Volk) and the European Jews. The article concludes by introducing the perspective of ＂life itself＂ from the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and especially concerning the famous proposition ＂Life is robbery.＂

並列摘要

本論文檢視海德格哲學中的「動物」與「動物性」概念，藉此回應現今動物研究與後人類主義中正在進行的若干爭論，同時也回應海德格《黑色筆記》所透露的涵義，亦即此系列筆記中對德國人和歐洲猶太人相互關係的思考，呼應了關於動物「在世困乏存有」的早期論述。本文歸結於懷海德哲學中「生命本身」的視角，尤以懷海德眾所皆知的主張「生命就是掠奪」為核心。
