Un nuevo curso...

Nuestro propósito:

Entender la ética en el marco de la vida misma.

Nosotros podemos transformar el mundo, con cada acción y decisión que tomamos. Pero ¿qué rumbo seguimos? ¿Qué propósitos tenemos? ¿Cuál es el camino a elegir?, ¿Qué debemos hacer? ... Intentar responder a estas preguntas es el cometido de la Ética, mejor dicho, ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre nuestro propio pensamiento, sobre nuestro modo de conocer y aquello que podemos conocer. Reflexionar sobre mí, sobre el otro y sobre el mundo que nos rodea.

La ética pretende ser universal, sin embargo no quiere universalizar nuestros sistemas de pensamiento, creencias y costumbres. La intención es encontrar aquello que es común a la humanidad, aquello con lo que todos podamos vivir una vida justa y libre.

La humanidad tiene que caminar hacia el horizonte del propio desplegar, lo que significa liberarse de la ignorancia, el dogmatismo, el miedo y el odio al otro. Tenemos que reconocer que todo ser humano tiene un valor intrínseco y, por ende, extenderlo a todo ser vivo.

Los seres humanos estamos unidos por lazos invisibles, la Ética nos ayuda a verlos y respetarlos.

Very interesting!!!

When Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London,
there was a professor, whose last name was Peters, who felt animosity
toward Gandhi, and because Gandhi never conceded to him in any
disagreement, their "arguments" were very common.

One day, Mr Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the
University and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to him.
The professor, in his arrogance, said, "Mr Gandhi: you do not
understand... a pig and a bird do not sit together to eat," to which
Gandhi replied, "You do not worry professor, I'll fly away," and he
went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, enraged, decided to take revenge on Gandhi on the next
test, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Then, Mr..
Peters asked him the following question, "Mr. Gandhi, if you are
walking down the street and find a package, and within it there is a
bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money; which one will you
take?"

Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "the one with the money, of course."

Mr. Peters, smiling, said, "I, in your place, would have taken the
wisdom, don't you think?"

"Each one takes what one doesn't have", responded Gandhi indifferently.

Mr. Peters, already hysterical, wrote on the exam sheet the word
"idiot" and gave it to Gandhi.

Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down. A few minutes later, Gandhi
went to the professor and said, "Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet but
you did not give me the grade"

Ghandi's 7 dangers to human virtue
1- wealth without work
2- pleasure without conscience
3- knowledge without character
4- business without ethics
5- science without humanity
6- religion without sacrifice
7- politics without principle
