Ética

by Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez

Este libro, escrito al calor de los movimientos de rebelión y protesta de 1968, ha alcanzado en el mundo de lengua española la categoría de mito. Guía básica y esclarecedora para varias generaciones de estudiantes, esta introducción a la ética recorre sistemáticamente, y con espíritu crítico, los problemas fundamentales de la filosofía moral para postular una ética nueva, pero, al mismo tiempo, muy antigua: «aquella que, conforme a las necesidades y posibilidades de nuestro tiempo, contribuye a acercar al hombre actual a una moral verdaderamente humana y universal».

About the author

Spanish-born Mexican philosopher, writer and professor.

After studying philosophy at the University of Madrid, Vázquez emigrated to Mexico in 1939 with thousands of other intellectuals, scientists and artist following the defeat of the Republic in the Spanish Civil War. Sánchez was appointed a full-time professor of philosophy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1959, becoming a professor emeritus of the university in 1985. Sánchez also holds honorary doctoral degrees in from the Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and the University of Cádiz (Spain).

He embraced Marxism, although an open, renovating, critical and non-dogmatic version of it. His fresh interpretation of marxism ran parallel to that of the Frankfurt School. As a matter of fact, The Philosophy of Praxis was published at around the same time as Marcuse was writing his One Dimensional Man. In regard to ethics, he opposes normativism.
