Aproximaciones conceptuales para una lectura ética de la obra de Karl Marx: esbozos para la fundamentación de una ética comunitaria en América Latina

Abstract

In this text some fundamental approaches to the thought of the German thinker Karl Marx are made with the purpose of exposing a possible articulation with ethics and the contribution of theoretical proposal in the construction of a communitarian ethics in Latin America. Thus, we made a characterization of the concept of ethics and its relation with Marx's thought expressed in some of his philosophical and economic theoretical works, positioning the fundamental reading of the problem from a Latin American perspective made by Enrique Dussel and Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez. Likewise, the debate with those readings that deny the possibility of speaking of an ethics in the work of the Germanic thinker and the need for a contextualized interpretation of such theoretical work is also placed. Finally, we outline some fundamental elements of Marx's work that can be used as support for the construction of a communitarian ethics in Latin America.
