We often perceive vulnerability in one of two ways: either as a mere measure of all that transpires or as a means of legitimizing the prevailing discourses and the aura of authority that fashion bestows upon us. However, it is crucial to understand that vulnerability can be influenced by and affect others. In his book "On Vulnerability: A Philosophical Anthropology," Miquel Seguró Mendlewicz presents vulnerability as a fundamental aspect of human existence and a key concept for comprehending our position in the world. The philosophical exploration unfolds through two central themes: the existential reality of vulnerability (its pathos) and the decision to embrace and live it as an ethical and political reality (its ethos). Drawing upon the insights of René Descartes, whose philosophy the author showcases as conducive to meditating on vulnerability, Seguró Mendlewicz proposes a philosophical reflection that views vulnerability as an inherent condition of human life across all its dimensions. Consequently, this book delves into the multifaceted aspects of vulnerability, exploring its true implications and the risks associated with its popularity.
