ABSTRACT
This essay makes a critical evaluation from the book launched in 2021 by the geographer Jacques Lévy (L’humanité: un commencement. Le tournant éthique de la société-Monde). It is a French edition, but accessible to the Brazilian public, which in a creative, essayistic and rigorous way seeks to describe changes seen as fundamental by the author in the contemporary world, namely: the formation process of a World society; the inexorability from the emergence of the society of individuals; and the ethical turn. In the review, we verticalize the analysis by treating chapter 9 (“Rendre le futur habitable”) as an example of the general tone of the work.
