How do we see the world? And how do we see others and ourselves? Living in the age of technology not only means having sophisticated gadgets and being immersed in complex information systems, but also more and more involves being under the influence of a certain way of approaching and understanding things. 

Therefore the important question is the following: can we learn to look around? Can we enlarge our look’s horizon? Josep Maria Esquirol has turned the answer to this question into an innovative and original ethical proposal focused on the idea of respect.

His reflection goes from respect to the dignity of being respected; then three other fundamental categories will appear: fragility, cosmocreativity and secret.

Marrying refreshing sobriety and philosophical acuteness, the author offers the reader a very attractive ethical proposal that can also be developed in specific areas such as the ecology, medicine, education or civility.
