Being Human in a Virtual Society
New digital technologies change human nature and social life. How does it happen? They do this through processes of hybridization of the human. Is it still possible to talk about humanism in a society that so powerfully transforms humanity? Does it make sense to bet on a new relational essentialism that preserves the dignity of the human being?

Author of over 800 publications, he has carried out empirical research on different aspects of social change, developing new concepts such as relational goods, relational reflexivity, relational welfare, then focusing on the ontology of social morphogenesis.
