About us: expanding the frontiers of morality
(English, Portuguese and Spanish)
This book is meant for everyone who - as the author - aspires to a more comprehensive and by no means transcendent form of moral life. Throughout this endeavor, the author attempts to tread the path of the philosophical tradition and, in dialogue with both this tradition and our everyday moral intuitions, to elaborate a distinctive moral conception of who we are, in addition to a moral outlook that encompasses all humans, in all their diversity; along with nonhuman animals; the environment and some inanimate objects, such as the works of art.

Functionings Approach: for a more inclusive point of view
The functionings approach aims to include individuals that are generally sidelined or kept outside the moral agenda. The book takes on a new normative framework that seeks to guide our attitudes toward other individuals and to set out specific guidelines to the public sphere. It aspires to answer to pressing moral questions of our times and to ground the intuition according to which it is precisely when the socially endorsed standards of rationality and autonomy waver that our care and moral acuity are mostly needed.
