A politics that reestablishes ties with our animality, in its immanent movement of naturally supernormal self-surpassing, cannot be based on a normative ethics of any kind. Animal politics recognizes no categorical im- [->]perative. It lives the imperatives of the given situation, and it lives in paradox. Such a politics does not recognize the wisdom of utility as the criterion of good conduct. Rather, it affirms ludic excess. It does not cleave to the golden mean. It excessively lives out the in-between.
