Descrizione:This essay reflects on the ethical contributions of Enrique Dussel and other Latin American thinkers such as Juan José Bautista and Franz Hinkelammert through the analysis of various documents. It aims to generate knowledge from the ethics of liberation to open spaces for philosophical discussion and discernment, using critical thinking as a method of analysis and praxis of liberation. The ethics of liberation focuses on the protection and development of human life in community and defends the most vulnerable sectors, considering life as the most important good. It is distinguished from other ethical approaches by its claim to universality and its dialectical foundation in favor of human life. It is articulated through intersubjective rational consensus to apply ethical norms and seeks to build a critical and anti-hegemonic community that confronts the exploitation and destruction promoted by capitalism and the market. The main finding is that ethics must begin from the concrete situation of victims, the oppressed, and the excluded. The contributions of Dussel and other Latin American authors have influenced various fields of knowledge and have significantly impacted Latin America and other regions of the world.
