ETHICAL EDUCATION BASED ON LOVE

This work arises as a way of highlighting the importance of metaphysical aspects in our ethical life and in particular love. Emotions or emotional intuition are fundamental to experience that objective and spiritual feeling as explained by different philosophers. In particular some prominent thinkers in this interpretation of the intentional act of love are Franz Brentano Max Scheler and José Ortega y Gasset. At the same time through this book essentially it is intended to question the current formal education that continues to reproduce an ultra-rationalist view. In this sense it justifies the importance of continuing to concretize the emotional or affective turn in pedagogy. Finally different reflections are included that discuss the limitations and potentialities of human rights including topics such as moral indoctrination freedom of conscience abortion prisons violence and capitalism. Associated with these themes some of the virtues of Christianity are analyzed specifically humility and respect for God.
