Irrupción de la persona en tiempos de emergencia. exigencias éticas, hospitalidad y comunidad

Abstract

The article proposes an approach focused on recovering spaces to think the person in inhospitable environments, considering it in its dimensions of realization, in its characteristics as concept, experience and project. The approach distinguishes between the survival condition derived from poverty, inequities and inequalities, and survival situations such as those of a global emergency. Valuing the contribution of Christianity in the irruption of the concept of person in Western culture, it distinguishes between society and community and analyzes dehumanization scenarios and personalization spaces. It differentiates between the dominant perspectives of life control, linked to logics of power and instrumental strategies, and the emerging perspectives of life care, linked to logics of the person, ethical demands for compassion, solidarity and fraternity, and strategies of personalization. The analysis stops at
the questioning role of the other, critically examines the economic and cultural mediations and focuses on the necessary conditions to build community, highlighting the validity of the ethics of hospitality and hospitality.
