La ética global desde el paradigma del bien común

Abstract

When conceiving a “global Ethics”, we have to relate such applied ethics to the phenomenon of globalization, which is imposed to the human kind assuming “the technology and its development together with an homogeneous and one-dimensional paradigm” (LS, 106). In the face of this, we should ask ourselves if we are before a “Globalization of the Ethics”. The first proposal states that the phenomenon of globalizationcontains an ethics in itself; in turn, the second proposal argues that globalization does not have an ethics in its own right, but instead it falls under the examination of the general, political and legal ethics. Likewise, the ecological concern inserted in that culture of globalization is based on technocratic theories with a naturist and subhuman view of the society and the reality as a whole, alien to the dignity of the individuals and the peoples (LS, 91). A “Global ethics” has to safeguard an integral ecology of natural and social systems (LS, 137...). Ecology of the environment, of the economy and of the politics (LS, 53); ecology of the history, of the culture (LS, 143) and of the future generations (LS, 159) which is only feasible in the framework of law (LS, 153) and the common welfare. (LS, 157).
