Biologistic [seclusionist and hegemonial] reductionism marks the most typical discriminatory approach to Nonhumans today.
—
Seclusion is when the ethical weighting of animal issues always appears to be inappropriately weak (in assumed or presupposed values, which become clear in the approach, the processing method and the conclusions). Topics are deliberately focussed on in a strongly delimiting manner, and only to the extent that an anti-speciesist analysis allows questions to remain on the surface.
Animal objectification is thus at most given a more up-to-date guise.
Basically, the overall construct that humans create for themselves is not called into question. The view of animals and nature is not triangulated under the anthropocentric-history-questioning aspects and given a new starting point.
The area of sovereignty of sense and meaning thus remains the framework of hegemonic-anthropogenic conceptualisation.
