The following is a reading of Filosofia della vulnerabilità based on the relationship between vulnerability
and human rights. Gianfrancesco Zanetti's reflection allows us to understand how vulnerability
is a common condition to all human beings, but also how in some cases vulnerability
is not universal, but specific, and resulting, at least in part, from social constructions that modulate
even the way in which people are perceived. This perspective links vulnerability and structural
discrimination very closely, but it is not incompatible with insisting that a rights-based approach
must also take into account the individual dimension of vulnerability.
