Never in the history of humanity has there been a time like the present, marked by the increasingly complex interactions of society with science, technology and politics. To face new challenges, it is sometimes necessary to take a step back and reflect with the tools that philosophy provides.
This is what Citizen Philosophy offers: a compendium of «pills to think», of short articles and reflections, in which the author of his combines the vision of him as a rationalist and critical philosopher with his political experience. The responsibility of controlling technological development, putting it at the service of people, the need to increase the investment effort in R&D, or the importance of sharing knowledge to decide in society, are justified in these pages with the same vehemence with who defends giving away "toys to do things" at Christmas, having a philosophy course in compulsory education or starting an effective program to help refugees.
A new way of understanding philosophy and an essential manual for citizens who have decided to have their own opinion and take action as active subjects of a wiser, more enlightened and fairer society.

Reviews and criticisms:

- "A compendium of reflections on politics, science and technology that covers almost all the issues that concern us today, from big data to climate change, passing through the dangerous social alarm that a viral epidemic can unleash." (Interview at Nobbot, March 19, 2020).
