The Care Society. Caring for others, oneself and the world in the 21st century

The 21st century has been marked by growing attention and concern for the living conditions of humanity, respect for all human beings, equal rights and duties, the fight against poverty, access to health and education, respect for minorities, social, ethical and moral responsibility, the fight against global warming, the sustainability of the lifestyle of the most developed countries and the new challenges that emerging economies pose to a globalised world.

This study addressed this complex issue, presenting a multifaceted reflection on care – care for others, for the world and for oneself.

It is a type of reflection whose relevance has been reinforced by the Covid-19 pandemic, as we see the social, global and interconnected nature of humanity becoming more pronounced, which we understand, and indeed intend, to be fundamental to the future of global human society.
