Derrida Animal Ethics, is a study of “the animal question" in the works of French Philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) and his relevance for the newly emerging and diverse field of Critical Animal Studies (CAS), Religious Studies, and the Social Sciences and Humanities more generally. Drawing on Derrida’s longstanding engagement with human-animal relations, in such texts as The Animal That Therefore I Am, “Violence Against Animals,” and his final seminars The Beast and the Sovereign, this thesis centers on his analyses of sovereignty, singularity, death, and responsibility, treating each of these concepts in a thesis chapter, and examining the potential of each for a rethinking of “animality” in discourses on ethics and human-animal relations.
