Pandemic emergency made even more necessary to reflect in different ways, on a planetary scale, about our relationship with environment and the other. The thematic section of the issue (n. 7, 2022) aims at analyzing the great ethic and political matters around responsibility and care from different points of view, adopting several paradigms. The issue would like to assume a polyphonic character proposing as main goal a more ample conception of alterity: the other far in space (ill, emarginated, foreign, different), the other distant in time (past and future generations), the other embodied by nature, that is the space humans live in and that they are committed to preserve with the most vigilant care, otherwise condemning themselves and all living beings to extinction. The issue is dedicated to the dear memory of Elena Pulcini, theorist of a “philosophy of care in the global era”, who dead because of Covid on April, 9th 2021.
