Aspectos de la teología moral desde el pensamiento de Xavier Thévenot

Abstract

The reflection on ethical issues always maintains a heartfelt topicality in our social, cultural and religious environment. We know the cultural diversity and the plurality of thought that emerges in our society where our convictions and customs are strongly confronted and questioned. We know well that many young people today feel in the midst of uncertainty and doubt when it comes to acting in relation to their principles, their ways of life and their different ways of thinking.

The continuous inquiry about our certainties, principles and freedom requires a coherent rationality for the exercise of our actions in the midst of a particular society, strongly marked by plurality and multiculturalism. It is about revealing and relocating the true meaning of morality as a source of dynamism for the life of each human being from temporality and the transforming process of ethics. The reflection insists on the distinction of the dimensions of morality as an enlightenment to the conscience for human fulfillment, according to the uniqueness of each human being in the midst of a plural society.

This work offers some relevant elements in moral matters for the discernment of people's conscience, in the light of the moral reflections of the French thinker Xavier Thévenot. It is the permanent invitation of the Gospel of Christ to live as new men guided by the Spirit in the freedom of the children of God.
