Honor, culpa y vergüenza: una reflexión ética sobre la relación entre el valor moral y su afectación

Abstract

The monograph gives an account of the relationship between moral value, affectation, states of spirit and ethos, understanding how the character of the citizen constitutes his politics of life. The work traces the relationship described from the concepts of honor, Guilt and shame as moral values ​​in the archaic stories of the West, going through affectations in Aristotelian ethics and political emotions in force in contemporary ethical reflection. The line of work was the practical philosophy in the intention to present an ethical reflection. The methodology was to investigate the honor, the guilt and shame conceptually from the Homeric stories The Iliad and The Odyssey, Aristotelian concepts in Nicomachean Rhetoric and Ethics, and in the contemporaneity in the approaches to Martha's emotions Nussbaum and Victoria Camps. The findings are expressed in the evidence of transit of values ​​in the construction of citizenship of each era, holding a fine thread that unites the archaic with contemporary Western thought.
