The role of political integration of ethics in civil society

Abstract

The ethical practices, specially the civic or citizen ones, are showing with clarity that tne economical and political development of the State should go hand by hand  with the fulfilment of principles and norms of public morality. In a society which is becoming every day more globalized in the direction of a domain of the technical reasoning, it is necessary to give an ethical orientation the rationality of our human actions towards social goals much more just, equitable and democratic. The Greek ideal of the “res publica” still compromises the modern State with the practice of ethical values. Without them, the governability of society becomes much more conflictive, instead of tolerant and consensuated. The incorporation of ethical norms moral principles on public policies of the social State, is increasingly legitimate, if one wants that the State fulfils its role  of social integration as it should.
