This article, which focuses on the differences of other animals rather than their similarities with humans and considers it impossible in some respects to understand their existence in a non-anthropocentric way, briefly touches on what some thinkers said about animals. One of these thinkers, Jacques Derrida's “The Animal That Therefore I am” is one of them. The article mainly focuses on understanding Jakop von Uexküll's concept of ‘umwelt’ and is looking for possibilities to internalize it. This article ends with the words of Jeremy Benthan; ‘The question is not whether (animals) have reasoning or can they talk. The question should be can they suffer.”
