Abstract
GUADARRAMA GONZALEZ, Pablo. Human condition, ethic values, human rights and democracy. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.1, pp.41-57. ISSN 1851-9490.
Latin American political philosophy is dominated by a conception of the human condition, - though not always he was appearing in these terms-, rather than an alleged human nature, biologically determined or a metaphysically conceived human essence. By themselves, the same ethical values, to political, legal, religious, aesthetic, etc., are not able to do absolutely nothing if they are not accompanied by profound socio-economic political transformations that transcend their spirituality to try to become a material factor of impulse to the infinite and continuous process of enrichment of the human condition. This concept corresponds better with the historical approach, holistic, complex and dialectic and therefore contradictory development of man in their struggle against various forms of alienation, which makes it more appropriate to conceive of the progressive development of democracy and human rights.
Keywords : Human condition; Ethical values; Human rights and democracy.
