Abstract
This paper aims at analyzing the centrality of the Other in human ontogeny, by highlighting its ontological role in the development of self, values, and democracy. Inspired by Streib’s thoughtful contributions I argue for the intrinsic relations between wisdom, ethics, and values, as well as how those relations can become an important venue in the cultural construction of democratic societies. By assuming a dialogical cultural approach, I stress the role of affective-semiotic processes in promoting individuals’ ethical sensibility toward others, and values’ openness to different perspectives and wisdom, stressing the role of education in this process.
