Human-wildlife coexistence is critical for sustainable and healthy ecosystems as well as to prevent human and wildlife suffering. In this paper, an intersubjective approach to human-wildlife interactions is proposed as a lens toward human decentering and emergent mutual evolution. The thesis is developed through a secondary data analysis of a research study on wildlife care and philosophical analysis using the work of Bernard Lonergan and Edmund Husserl. The study was conducted using the theory of transcendent pluralism, which is grounded in human and ecological dignity, including the dignity of beyond-human beings. Deeper interpretation of the original data suggests that human-wildlife interactions are mutually conscious, embodied, and hold spatial-temporal dimensions. The affective realm is an integral dimension of human-wildlife intersubjectivity. These findings inform an approach toward human-wildlife relations in which human persons and the beyond-human multitude can all flourish in dignity.
人与野生动物共存对于可持续和健康的生态系统至关重要，也有助于防止人类和野生动物遭受痛苦。本文提出了一种主体间的方法来研究人类与野生动物的相互作用，将人类从中心位置移开，并促进共同进化。本论文通过对野生动物护理研究的二次数据分析以及使用伯纳德·洛纳根和埃德蒙德·胡塞尔的作品进行哲学分析来展开。该研究使用了超越多元主义理论，该理论基于人类和生态尊严，包括超越人类的尊严。对原始数据的更深层次解释表明，人类与野生动物的相互作用是相互意识、体现和具有时空维度的。情感领域是人类与野生动物主体间性的一个组成部分。这些发现为一种人类与野生动物关系的方法提供了信息，在这种方法中，人类个体和超越人类的众多生物都可以在尊严中繁荣发展。
