AB - There are many scientific and philosophical approaches and treatments on ecological problems in the era of climate crisis. With respect to this, in the context of posthumanism and new materialism, Donna Haraway proposes a form of non-anthropocentric ecology. That is, human beings and non-human beings are related to each other through direct interaction and mutual response, and such a relationship can be confirmed and strengthened through their ‘responseability’. This is a remarkable idea with many scientific and philosophical implications, but there are complications associated with it. Namely, how can a human being cognize and understand the non-human being's response (response ability and response content)? Haraway does not offer a systematic, theoretical answer to the question. In this paper, we introduce the idea of the phenomenology of the other to seek out a solution to the problem, and argue that such a form of phenomenology can be a methodological strategy to appropriately estimate and recognize the internal and external informational states of non-human beings. In this way, the present inquiry aims to contribute to laying an explanatory foundation that can properly uncover the relationship between human beings and non-human beings, beyond anthropocentrism.
