Abstract
In his latest book, Relire le relié (2019), the French philosopher Michel Serres explains that the spirit of synthesis is becoming important in our time, because we live in an era where a global perspective on things and people has become crucial. Perhaps one of the most important reasons could be the meeting between the visible world and an invisible world, in a “blinding” and “incandescent” new horizon offered by the semantic of both terms “relire” to reread and “relier” to connect. A meeting of a practical, a theoretical knowledge and faith, in an energetic and energizing transformation, is at the core of this book, where human being might be invited to live in closer proximity to books, culture and literary work reading over for better social integration in life. It is as invitation to connect, a friendly path toward the development of dynamic networks of cooperation. For these two reasons these two movements should be mentioned and placed at the center of our introduction to Msgr. Prof. Dr Obiora Ike's book, Applied Ethics, published at Globethics.net. It is as second edition an invitation to reread a collection of themes, exposed to a wider audience; as profound thinking on religious and cultural ethical values this compendium is an exploration of how values help to connect within and across human communities.
