Abstract

In this paper we present and discuss the reflections made by Etienne Bimbenet (2011/2014) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1942/2006) on the problem of anthropological difference, regarding the comparison between human behavior and animals. For these authors, the human order opens a new structure behavior in relation to the vital order. Both Merleau-Ponty as Bimbenet understand that animal life and human life are original orders that have specific modes of interaction with the environment. Animal experience reveals a behavioral orientation dictated by specific functional values that select the stimuli provided with a sense for the body. However, the authors acknowledge that human perception is essentially different from this operating logic, since the capacity of releasing itself from it's own point of view towards an inter-subjective world is the fundamental feature of human experience.
