COMMUNICATION ETHICS
My research focuses on contemporaneity and the issues it raises in the anthropological and ethical fields. Particularly, my interests concern:
• moral philosophy and its foundability, in relation with the objectivity of the good and values
• the human beings as technical beings and their relationship with the environment and animals
• technology, its evolution and the consequences in the digital/spectacular/consumer field
• space, in relation with phenomenology and ethics of dwelling
• anthropology of homo urbanus and urban ethics
• phenomenology of emotions and love
• food ethics
• communicative nature of the human beings, the dimensions of silence and ethics of advertising and company communication.
