Desarrollo de la ética comunitarista y su aporte en la educación

Abstract

This article aims to situate the concept of communitarian philosophy and its emergence as contemporary to the trend of liberalism. The concept is not situated in complete opposition to liberalism, but rather with the aim of recovering the concept of community. This concept of community is understood as a sharing by individuals of their affective bonds, beliefs and inherited values, by which individuals shape their own identity and personality in a specific temporal and historical space. The above intends to contradict the liberal theory that portrays mankind as individualistic beings who attain all their goals by their own efforts. On the other hand, the communitarian philosophy proposes to emphasize the idea of community, taking into account that individuals have both liberties as well as responsibilities towards their community, which are rooted in morality.
