This essay is an attempt to propose an outline of a new respiratory animal philosophy. Based on an analysis of the forgetting of breath in Western philosophy, it aims to gesture towards a future, breathful and compassionate world of co-sharing and co-breathing. In the first part, the basic features of forgetting of breath are explained based on David Abram’s work in respiratory ecophilosophy. This part also introduces an important contribution to modern philosophy by Ludwig Klages. The second part is dedicated to reflections on what I understand as an unfortunate transition from soul and pneuma to spirit and Geist. Based on these analyses, I proceed towards an idiosyncratic thought on the nocturnal mystery of pneuma, with references to ancient Upanishadic and 20th-century phenomenological Levinasian thought. Based on these teachings, I argue that, at the bottom of her existence, the subject is a lung partaking in an immense external lung (Merleau-Ponty). In the fourth part of the essay, I extend my reflections toward comparative animal respiratory phenomenology and argue for the immense compassion for all our fellow breathing beings. Finally, in the concluding, fifth part of this essay, I am arguing for a future biocentric and breathful environment, signifying and bringing a new compassionate-respiratory alliance into the world.

动物呼吸：环境呼吸现象学的思考

本文试图提出一种新的呼吸动物哲学的轮廓。基于对西方哲学中“忘记呼吸”的分析，旨在构建一个未来的、有呼吸的、有同情心的、共同分享、共同呼吸的世界。第一部分根据大卫·艾布拉姆的呼吸生态哲学著作解释了呼吸遗忘的基本特征。这部分还介绍了路德维希·克拉格斯对现代哲学的重要贡献。第二部分致力于反思我所理解的从灵魂和精神到精神和精神的不幸过渡。基于这些分析，我参考古代奥义书和 20 世纪现象学列维纳斯思想，对夜间神秘的气进行了独特的思考。基于这些教导，我认为，在她存在的底部，主体是一个参与巨大外肺的肺（梅洛-庞蒂）。在文章的第四部分，我将我的思考延伸到比较动物呼吸现象学，并主张对我们所有呼吸同胞的巨大同情心。最后，在本文的第五部分的结论中，我主张未来有一个以生物为中心的呼吸环境，标志着并将一个新的同情呼吸联盟带入世界。
