The paper stresses the importance of understanding the connections across self, others (including sentient beings), the environment and technological applications, in order to ensure sustainable futures. It makes a case for ethical dialogue as a process to engage and co‐create shared meanings, in order to enhance democracy and rescue the enlightenment from its failings.
