| description | This paper presents a bi-constructivist approach to the study of animal life, which is opposed tothe realist-Cartesian paradigm in which most ethology operates.

We show that, when grounded in the operational framework of the phenomenological approach, the interpretation of animal life acquires a much more robust character than is usually supposed. |
