Abstract
Vulnerability is the main characteristic of our existence, as every human being is an exposed body. In this exposure, we eat, live and relate to others, constantly taking risks for the sake of true life. In this exposure, we observe the duty of care from the perspective of the relationship of solidarity. The right to food is, in its truest sense, the right to nourish oneself with awareness, and the ability to respond in terms of responsibility. Politics and the practice of law, as well as of its justice, must therefore be able to avail themselves of a different learning of the world, which passes precisely through a conscious nourishment that does not stop at the ingestion of nutrients, but is a way of being, of thinking, of knowing that begins in the body and that, as such, can draw on a sensory learning, restoring value to the contribution of the senses and emotions in the understanding and construction of our worlds of life.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
