Abstract

La sostenibilidad es un tema vital en las discusiones de todo el mundo cuando se trata de mantener la vida en el planeta. Esta sostenibilidad debe estar respaldada por sus cinco dimensiones: ambiental, social, económica, tecnológica y ética. En este contexto, el presente artículo tendrá su enfoque en la dimensión ética, proponiéndose como objetivo general analizar el contenido de la dimensión ética de la sostenibilidad y la necesidad de cambiar valores y actitudes para alcanzar esta dimensión. A partir de la investigación, se puede constatar que la dimensión ética analiza el cambio necesario de la vida de los seres humanos con la observancia de los principios y virtudes éticos. Esta dimensión nace de la cuestión existencial del ser humano, la garantía de la vida, la necesidad de repensar, reflexionar y volver a comprender que el ser humano es parte del biosistema y depende de él. Por lo tanto, en este documento, la discusión se basará principalmente en la dimensión ética de la sostenibilidad, así como en los principios y virtudes de la ética para alcanzar la sostenibilidad mediante el método inductivo.

Highlights

  • Within the context of a capitalism that generates unbridled and unprecedented consumption, in which the main objective seems to be the accumulation of wealth, regardless of the means used for this purpose, the environment has been the biggest victim

  • Humanity is often faced with data that point to a consumption of natural resources so that they will be depleted for the generations. This eagerness for “having” is making relationships liquid, human beings with no “direction”, without stimulus, depressive and, unable to think of such important and vital issues to sustainability. Within this sad reality arises the debate about the sustainability that consists in the reach of the environmental, economic, social, technological and ethical dimensions, in order to guarantee the permanence of living organisms on the Planet, with dignified and just conditions

Within this problem, the objective of this work was to analyze the content of the ethical dimension of sustainability and the need to change values and attitudes to achieve this dimension

Introduction

Within the context of a capitalism that generates unbridled and unprecedented consumption, in which the main objective seems to be the accumulation of wealth, regardless of the means used for this purpose, the environment has been the biggest victim. This eagerness for “having” is making relationships liquid, human beings with no “direction”, without stimulus, depressive and, unable to think of such important and vital issues to sustainability Within this sad reality arises the debate about the sustainability that consists in the reach of the environmental, economic, social, technological and ethical dimensions, in order to guarantee the permanence of living organisms on the Planet, with dignified and just conditions. This research is necessary because, due to this consumist and immediatist reality, where “having” is more important than “being”, man is increasingly more individualistic and selfish, leaving aside the basic principles and virtues for achieving sustainability In this sense, this research seeks to contribute academically in order to create a theory about a new dimension inherent to sustainability, which is ethics, presenting the reasons for which that dimension is as important for sustainability. In the various phases of the research, the techniques of referent 4 , category, operational concept and bibliographic research were use
