What does it mean to be a citizen of the globe? What do we owe strangers by virtue of our shared common situation: the same beautiful small planet we live in?

Global similitudes and local differences are the two poles that maintain the tension in the cultural field, between preserving singular local values as well as distances between heterogeneous communities, and, on the other hand, seeking a universal–hence transcendent–code.

The challenge is to find an ethical field that allows for the flourishing of both distances and universality, of both the localities and the global: an Ethics in which singularities can give expression to a multiplicity of differentiated communities and loyalties while at the same time building an universal ethical code through a powerful common project: the project of living together on the same globe.
