Abstract
This article responds to the transdisciplinary call launched by Petrilli and Ponzio for the creation and implementation of semioethical virtue ethics that has become a categorical imperative in the Anthropocene/Capitalocene. In an era in which the sign systems upon which all life depends are on the brink of collapse, Petrilli and Ponzio break new ground with the promulgation of a type of alterity-based humanism. As semiotic animals endowed with metasemiosic faculties, they insist that we must urgently cultivate the kind of virtues that take into consideration the Cosmic Other in order to stem the tide of the anthropogenic crisis.
