Abstract
The following essay is related to Porfirio Miranda’s and Ignacio Ellacuría’s overviews on the fundaments of ethics. From a Hegelian perspective, Miranda denies the possibility that life could be the fundament of ethics. Ellacuría disagrees in this point. The title of one of his essays reflects his position about this issue: “Biological fundaments of ethics”.
