Resumen

El artículo examina la persistente separación ontológica entre los seres humanos y los demás animales, mostrando que es epistemológicamente insostenible y políticamente perjudicial. A partir de evidencias conductuales, cognitivas y culturales, se argumenta que las fronteras tradicionales – lenguaje, moralidad, producción, racionalidad – son cuantitativas y no cualitativas. Esta negativa a reconocer continuidades sostiene tanto la explotación animal como prepara el terreno para modelos económicos y geopolíticos basados en la competencia y la desconfianza. Se contraponen las visiones realistas de la política internacional con la perspectiva cooperativa defendida por Sachs, articulándolas con teorías biológicas que evidencian la centralidad de la cooperación. Finalmente, se propone un sentido filosófico renovado de humanidad, fundado no en la dominación, sino en el reconocimiento de la continuidad interespecífica y sus implicaciones éticas y económicas.
