Abstract


This paper comments the reactions to the proposal that Spain supports Great Ape Project Declaration. Those of us who subscribe this Declaration do not share the same ethical or political position. Also, the mention of other emancipatory struggles (slaves, women, indigenous people) must not be restricted to a rhetorical and sentimental use, because there are some analogous aspects, indeed. Finally, I sustain that the concept of humanity is no longer a self-evident fact, but a philosophical and discoursive problem, opened to the human intervention.
