Abstract

In contrast to the anthropocentrism that has dominated Western education, the aim of this work is to present the pedagogical power of animalist art in ecocentric and postanthropocentric education, especially for the care of the otherness of nature and animals. The justification of the theme lies in the need for a change of mentality in light of the dangers threatening nature. The methodology used in this work includes, on the one hand, the analysis of the concepts of care, otherness and their educational value, and, on the other hand, the intuition through the examples of animalist art itself. The conclusions are threefold. First, care is especially concerned with those who have no voice, such as nature and animals. Second, it is necessary to educate to promote the care of nature and animals. Third, animalist art is a foundation for ecocentric education.
