Derrida on “The Animal”

“The gaze called animal offers to my sight the abyssal limit of the human: the inhuman or the human, the ends of man, that is to say the border crossing from which vantage man dares to announce himself to himself, thereby calling himself by the name that he believes he gives himself. And in these moments of nakedness, under the gaze of the animal, everything can happen to me, I am like a child ready for the apocalypse. I am (following) the apocalypse itself, that is to say the ultimate and first event of the end, the unveiling and the verdict.”
