«El libro de Manuel y Camila» is a dialogue on ethics by Ernst Tugendhat, Celso López and Ana María Vicuña, published by Gedisa in hardcover (168 pages).
Manuel, Camila and their classmates discuss ethics through everyday questions: why killing is the worst crime, when one should help others, what responsibility entails, or why stealing is wrong. They contrast their intuitions with what they see at home and on the street, without naming philosophers or giving all the answers.
Fourth title in the Campo de Estrellas collection, first edition published in 2001; text in Spanish.
Recommended for young and teenage readers (ages 13 to 15), and for parents or educators who want to introduce ethics in the classroom or at home.
