Interview with Giorgio Agamben suggests broad lines of thought on ethics and the centrality of values.
deeply Agamben puts into question the concept of ethics when he says: "It states that to do good must have a fixed belief system. So, would act well only one who has a set of principles to be fulfilled. [...] When I was working on the idea of \u200b\u200b'witness' struck me the story of a girl who, subjected to torture by the Gestapo, had refused to reveal the names of his companions. To those who later asked in the name of what principles had been able to do so, said only: 'I did it because I liked it'. The ethical duty not to obey a means to get involved: in what you think, say and believe. "
