Abstract

The animal is the point living on tension where from leaves for Nietzsche the question: which is this “not yet fixed animal”, this “tense rope between the superman and the animal”, in brief man? Cows are at the same time the animals of the damaged link of the man in the animality by the memory ; and those of a link compromised by the human being in his animality by the ruminante thought. So, cows are not the stuffed specimens of a bestiary but the question at the same time of the animality of man and the demarcation of man and animal.
