The expression “semioethics” (Petrilli and Ponzio 2003a, 2010) is
associated with “the art of listening”, to the other (Petrilli, ed., 2007;
Petrilli and Ponzio 2016), “the art of caring”, for the other, human and
nonhuman. Given that humanity is but a piece in the larger picture made
of a countless number of other pieces, interdependent and interrelated, to
care for the human is to care for all of life over the planet which
flourishes, in turn, interdependently with the larger system called Gaia,
and so forth, according to a progression whose boundaries,if boundaries
there are,ultimately we do no tknow.We propose to listen to and care for
human relations, or better “interrelations” given the inexorable condition
of intercorporeality, “dialogic intercorporeality”, interconnecting all life forms on earth.
