In this regard, we face challenges in ethical theory. The main objective of this research is to examine how the human, in the position of the “self,” places the animal in the position of the “other.” The present study has been conducted using a descriptive–analytical method, with data collection carried out through library resources and by employing a case study of a set of Damien Hirst’s works centered on animal bodies. Considering that Levinas’s issue is the right to life for the “other,” his views have been utilized to explore this matter. One of the most important topics in Levinas’s philosophy is the issue of the “other,” which pertains to the domain of practical philosophy and ethics, encompassing everything beyond the “self.” The researcher, based on Levinas’s views, has explained and elaborated on the problem, and the findings indicate that through a phenomenological reading of Levinas, the disturbing otherness can be examined and analyzed in Damien Hirst’s works.</p> https://journalisslp.com/index.php/isslp/article/download/121/649
