Abstract

This paper tries to inquiry about the subordinated relation between politics and ethics. Politics is understood as relations of command and obedience beyond administrative or institutional work, whose main goal is solving conflict. The classic ethical approaches as Aristotelian, utilitarian and Kantian show in any case, political consequences, and this implies that ethics is always subordinated to a political project. Even those political projects, whose intention is incorporated ethical values, fail in having a reciprocal al neutral relation between politics and ethics. Even so, ethical projects as vulnerability recognition and human life, and the development of judgment capability achieve giving human being strategies to take autonomous decisions and critical thinking against political projects.
