Eduardo Infanti (Huelva, 1977) studied the humanities in his hometown and philosophy in Salamka and may be the institute’s teacher for a few years … The most popular in the country. Something does not seem simple when you should talk to your students in a teaching center in Gigon, where it resides, for people like Aristotle or Nietzsche. The key can be in the places that were chosen to teach the classroom, such as a garden (in the case of the ideas of the author of “Politics” and “Ethics A Nicómaco”) or a commercial street in Gijón to talk about quarrels. Or in the challenges that students make, who intend to advance with them to daily life, ideas of great thought. As it does on social networks. And in the books, as in “Philosophy in the Street”, which has become the best -selling, and now “ethics in the street” (Eril Editor), an article in which the reader places in front of a dilemma in each chapter. For example, in a state of fire, will we provide our dog or child from the fifth neighbor? The sun appears in Gigon despite the fact that today is new and that the conversation in coffee from the mayor of Plaza can be prolonged for hours without any time.
He studies his students from philosophy walking. What is the best scenario for this interview if it is not cold?
This is the mayor of Plaza, which is a general Agoura. We have built our lives around an empty space. This is where the free men were for dialogue. Therefore, it generates philosophy, dialogue and democracy alongside.
Ethics are transmitted, and it is believed that ethics, as you say. This is not a good time to think. We receive slogans all the time.
Because we live in a society of producers and consumers, we are very incompetent to sexual. The alternative to ethics is ideology, which the other thinks of you and imposes on you a reality. Ethics come out of the tribe, and find reasons that make me do the right thing. Sometimes, this calls for questioning what we have well, which ends. It is not interesting to wonder about what generates wealth and strength.
New censorship
“Dialogue and democracy are activated.”
Even in places that must be more convenient to think and think, such as university, discussions are prevented if they escape from a specific correction range. Where does that take us?
Habermas said that the inability to dialogue that was born fascism. The dialogue is not any conversation. Democracy was born in Agora where everyone has the right to speak, but to expose the reasons. The dialogue aims to find the reasons accepted by everyone. When some issues are controlled, taking emotions as standards, the dialogue is impossible. Now the revitalization of dialogue and democracy is canceled. The question is the one who decides what he is talking about.
Learn about the other
– Students of some centers refuse to talk about some issues because they are bothering them.
– They say that these discussions disturb them from the emotions they generate. If we all hate all, there will be no reggaeton (laughs) on my side. The university should be the place where the truth is kept. Also the media. Both are in a crisis, and with them, a dialogue. Many people are reported today through “Tiktok” videos instead of reading brutal signed articles. There is a generation with higher studies that believe before what it sees in that social network that science says.
Has this happened several times in the history of mankind?
Those who burned magicians believe that what they were doing was fair. How do I know now that I am not one of these? I have written this book to provoke the dialogue, but this is impossible when you don’t get to know the other. Democracy is the best invention to live together and well those who think differently. But in our society, hatred is injected into the vein that leads us to see the neighbor who thinks differently as a person who has no right to be. If we know your reasons, we still believe that it is not immoral or stupid. The cancellation is a charming chase, which is fairly displayed as fair. This generates desires to join the destruction of someone under the appearance of justice; For example, defending a minority. Who are you deciding to me or I cannot read? This is a question that we should ask for some.
Politics and citizenship
“We accept that our politicians treat us as a palace.”
– Then there are morals, and sometimes aesthetics, who attend exclusively for what laws are not punishable. In his opinion, the work plug, and a recommendation, requires in favor of benefiting from the proximity of power, is good because it is not a crime.
This political discourse, which is considered the exclusive law of the law. Something illegal does not mean that it is moral. I am concerned that the only thing about what politicians should answer is in front of the judges. Ethics is the formation of the citizen’s personality. The law does not prohibit a friend’s betrayal, but this does not make him moral or beautiful. Ethical is useful for a person. With unethical procedures, you will spoil yourself. But in the policy that does not offend. Each individual project in a society must be rooted, and if we accept immoral behaviors because they are not illegal, we are wrong. The citizen must ask his representatives.
– How can you do post -vote, often bid farewell to cover your nose?
To assess a political action, the standard must be if it is in the service of the public good. If not, it will be fair. Remember that the Greeks have a ostracism to punish things like this. Even the clarification, the noble, the teacher, had a commitment to be samples. Since then, we all have this commitment. The beginning is whether to do the best thing that the other can do.
How is this related to the things we see in politics? These are relatives of leaders who continue to hold very relevant general positions, so that they depend on it. Or all companies that husbands, family and friends in general are in light of those who have authority.
To be perfect, it is appropriate not to choose your wife, husband or child to fill a position if there are equal candidates. How will there be in such vast areas? We accept our politicians to treat us as a palace. This is one of the symptoms that our democracy is in a crisis of the base. Ideas cannot be defended as the football team defends them. You cannot get the leader’s worship. The General Office must speak on everyone. We are unable to agree on an educational or general TV model that reveals our problems with democracy. Al -Ain, that in the United States you are already talking about democracy.
coexistence
“The alternative to ethics is ideology, which the other thinks of you and imposes on you”
Your book raises some problems. For example, if he is in a fire, we save our dog or our child from some neighbors before. They will accuse him of specifications.
– I put this challenge in social networks with intuition that we have a crisis with the concept of dignity. Dignity is the highest value. I will tell you that in this challenge, there were more answers in favor of saving the dog. I start seeing a movement wondering about everything and I do not see reasons for assessing human life above anything else. They want to return us to a world before human rights. In addition, choose to save the animal encourage us. What society did he treat us according to appreciation? Who would save me or take care of me if you need it? Law and dignity are humanitarian creations. No God gave us. We give ourselves our rights because we are part of a society. We demand ourselves to defense and compliance. How do we ask them from animals? Often, we keep animals for our happiness. However, the welfare of animals is allowing them to express.

He also defends that, along with sex, there are only two sexes. Many situations are wondering about self -recognition regarding sex. Don’t you fear canceling it?
– See, let’s expand the focus until we admit that each one is determined according to what is perceived. Imagine what will happen if I am white, I say I feel black because I know that I support the same insults that they have suffered. When an ethical knows what he is exposed because it means examining what is clear from his time. Whoever disturbs what I say to him is two tasks: the trouble and “demase”. I expose the reasons. There are positions that you do not have.
– Another issue of discussion about your book: The limits of genetic improvement. To what extent can they go and the problem that will be many developments available only for the wealthy.
The problem is whether a person can be improved and if it can be done in all cases and how to avoid the gap in this field. Ethics are 2500 years of very smart people who think about what is better for humans. Kant said that human life is invaluable because it cannot be dispensed with. This is why it differs between means and ends. Previous can be used. The second, no. We are human and we cannot use anything. What genetic adjustments will be acceptable? If you modify my son to my displacement, use it as a means, which is worth it. But if you give more possibilities for the future, without forcing him to choose, we are facing anything else.
formation
“Cultures are educated with their heroes, with the real. The problem is that there is now »
Ethics seem to be the issue of heroes. Such retired volunteers who entered Fukushima, or firefighters who stopped Chernopil. Everyone knew what would happen to them. But it seems that there are now no heroes.
– We have dropped the level. We harm our youth by not suggesting examples of behavior and allowing algorithms to do so. Before the heroic cinema appears and good ways. He no longer does that anymore. The moral hero is the hero who goes beyond what is worthy, who makes some of this beauty and justice that we must revive. Then we are more, we are more famous in that.
– And we become heroes for the athletes or the paid fake.
– On the other hand, we all have debts with others because many people take care of us from we are born to die. We are what we are for our efforts and more. All cultures are educated with their heroes. With the real. The problem is that there is now. Many young people they want, their goal in life, is to be rich without committing to water.
