Ethics of the common good and joint responsibility

Abstract

This essay is an approach to Franz Hinkelammert’s theoretical proposals, which are philosophic basis to a common good and solidarity in responsibility ethics. Coming from the need of an open, material and historized humanism, the author analyzes the German philosopher’s ethic proposals, showing some interpretation keys that may contribute to renew human rights, the alternative social projects and those appeals we make to our duties and to our liberty.
