Renowned philosopher Victoria Camps visited Sant Cugat del Vallès this March to present La sociedad de la desconfianza, a work exploring the pessimism affecting modern societies.

During the event, the author explained how the indignation from the 2008 financial crisis has evolved into a silent demoralization. According to Camps, this distrust impacts governments, artificial intelligence, and healthcare systems alike.

"Morality and ethics are not transmitted only through theories, but through coherent behaviors."
