How is a basis for otherness and its moral consequences derived? Evolved animals and man are quite close on the neurobiological level. Berthoz and Petit offer a phenomenological approach of the intersubjectivity based on the "kinestheses" of Husserl. We show that such a viewpoint is in no way contradictory with neurobiology and that it demands that we should, on the moral level, include animals within otherness. This is more so because as Burgat shows, the question of animals may be considered as one of the main issues of phenomenology.
