La responsabilidad social en el marco de la ética de la convivencia y la ética ciudadana

Abstract

This research conducts a critical reflection focused on three cores or focal areas: recognition, autonomy and social responsibility, all of them permeated by a permanent concern about the ethical issue and the politics issue. Broadly speaking, in the first place it is about understanding the educational action as politics action transforming the world and the society; and the conditions to understand the autonomy and the recognition that in this work were taken as virtues with public reach. All this from Paulo Freire’s vision, in which the dialog allows encountering with the other, and reading, understood as reading the world is of vital importance to reactivate the social responsibility, which not only deals with “self-care”, but also “care of others”, the other human beings, and “care of the another”, the nature and the world. Then, it is dealt the role of humanities in the formation of an ethos about social responsibility, assuming as supporting concepts the Hans Jonas’ principle of responsibility and the Adela Cortina’s ethics of civil society. It is concluded that the social detriment demands a new way of interacting, recovering the virtue, in the educational field as well as in the citizenship issues, to catapult the social responsibility and thereby improve harmony. Key words: Ethics, politics, responsibility, recognition, autonomy
