诸位老师同学，大家好！

第98期分析哲学论坛将于11月19日周四晚上7:00，在知新楼A1408举行。具体信息如下：

一、演讲题目：

Biophilosophical Implications and Applications of Jacques Derrida's "Animot" (Animal+Word)二、主讲人：

Kyoo Lee（The City University of New York）

三、内容简介：

This lecture explores some of the key conceptual bridges and breaks between “human” animals and non-human animals by drawing on Jacques Derrida’s 1997 lecture, “The Animal That Therefore I Am (L'Animal que donc je suis)” that alludes to René Descartes’s “I think, I am (Je pense, je suis)” where the “I,” a man or a person, emerges as a thinking thing or animal. Here, Derrida is turning the classical question, “do animals think?,” into that of by what right we can make a special case for “human” existence. Furthermore then: what does it mean for anyone or thing to have a life (bio), especially today when biotechnology challenges the very notion of being (born/dead)? We will reflect on these pressing, ontological issues and tissues of life.
