    Self-Deception, Globalization and Magnanimity2013

    Human transgressions of laws and human vital order derive partially from a fundamental misperception of oneself in relation to the world. Self-deception is at the root of lack of virtue, although it is not the only cause of human vice. In this new globalized arena of contending virtues and vices, the mentioned basic misleading interpretation of oneself comes to the fore. Globalization implies a broadening of the concept of human not only in theory, but also in a practical way. That is why the limits of good and evil have to increasingly take into account the totality of human affairs, and sociability becomes more clearly the touchstone of moral behaviour. If we assume that nothing from outside of man defiles man, we have to question what it is inner for us, and how our interior and exterior are related to each other. The human interior is made up of theoretical and practical assumptions and assertions, like a field of veracity that moves throughout a person’s life, progressing or regressing in terms of virtue. Progress implies humanization of the person. Again, the globalization process can bring about a practical shift in the idea of man’s exterior and interior limits, or a better understanding of the meaning and scope of sociality in humans. As a conclusion, we must assess how human moral progress in our contemporary world depends on a revitalization of the virtue of magnanimity.

    Comunidad posmoderna2023

    Este ensayo filosófico desentraña nuestra ya madura posmodernidad desde sus raíces antropológico-culturales y describe críticamente sus principales secuelas en la sociedad contemporánea. Partiendo de las coordenadas sociales del mundo occidental (narcisismo, fragmentariedad, fluidez, capitalismo neoliberal, individualismo, aceleración, tecnocracia, etc.) los catorce autores españoles que intervienen en esta obra plantean, además —con miradas complementarias—, las condiciones en que nuestra libertad psicológica, moral, económica y política, permitirían sostener una comunidad transcultural, creativa y solidaria; una comunidad donde pervivan los presupuestos epistemológicos y sociales de la tradición clásica y en la que, lejos de sofocar el despliegue natural de la razón, prospere un humanismo teórico-práctico coherente con la trascendencia religiosa.
