This book consists of contributions from different continents on the subject of applied ethics related to poetry.
The
first part of this book presents original poems that express ethical emotions
and aphorism related to a philosophical questioning of the grounding of our
values for life. The poems are written by twelve authors coming from four
continents, for whom poetic emotions are sources of artistic inspiration and
that can be used for conflict resolution.
In the second part, which features short essays, nine authors tackle how poems, symbolic representations, metaphorical narratives and lies impact the space of possibilities, in which we are moved to action, knowledge formation, and how we imagine the world together.
