This text takes readers on a philosophical discovery of a forgotten treasure, one born in the 14th century but which appears to belong to the 21st.

It presents a critical, up-to-date analysis of Santob de Carrión, also known as Sem Tob, a writer and thinker whose philosophy arose in the Spain of the three great cultures: Jews, Christians, and Muslims, who then coexisted in peace.

The author first presents a historical and cultural introduction that provides biographical detail as well as context for a greater understand of Santob's philosophy.

Next, the book offers a dialogue with the work itself, which looks at politics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and theodicy.

The aim is not to provide an exhaustive analysis, or to comment on each and every verse, but rather to deal only with the most relevant for today's world.
