Karol Wojtyla y la crítica al utilitarismo

Abstract

Res_eng:The work has the main objective of presenting the Karol Wojtyla’s critic to Utilitarianism in his “Love and responsibility”. Identifying in Utilitarianism not just an ethic system philosophically formulated in modernity, but also a way of thinking which characterizes men and women from our time, Wojtyla makes and evaluation of the so called utilitarian norm, taking as parameter an ethic centered in the value of the human person. He shows how Utilitarianism not only doesn’t make justice to the structure of pleasure, but also to the structure of the moral action itself. Such a falsification is rooted in a poor anthropology, which reduces man to an individual gifted with reason and sensibility, the first totally subjected to de second. The work aims at showing, by means of examples and references to other thinkers, representatives of both Personalism and Utilitarianism, the sufficient character of Wojtyla’s reasoning, which leads him to disqualify the Utilitarianism as an ethic system capable of founding the communion amongst persons.
