Berta Sáenz, researcher in contemporary philosophy opens a reflection on how we have thought and why it is so essential to keep thinking about our vulnerable situation.
Let’s start from there: we cannot deny the importance of recognizing our fragile, interdependent and vulnerable condition. “We can be wounded” and yes, this statement may seem obvious, but it is not only necessary to claim it as a fact but as a reality that can guide us in the midst of the egocentric chaos of our days. A recipe and a reminder of what is important, thus providing a revolutionary panorama that we have not yet tried: a policy designed to respond to human needs; an economy dependent on providing care; an education designed to make us able to receive and give protection to the rest.
