PROBLEMA DE LOS REDUCCIONISMOS ANTROPOLÓGICOS EN LA POSTMODERNIDAD

Abstract

The ethical actions of people depend on the ideas and anthropological convictions that precede them and for which we have decided to adopt. Which of these ideas that predominate today in culture, are closer to the real and profound explanation of the person? What are we really like as people? With humility, we must carry out its critical analysis to detect possible fallacies and scientistic determinisms that split the whole person and result in an affront to dignity, by proposing an explanation where the person is reduced to one of its aspects, by the object of study and method that is specific to each science. In the present reflection, we comment on the resulting profile of the postmodern man who has been configuring his identity with all these ideas without stopping to a serious analysis. The search to make sense of the great questions of the properly human is valid, but the partial answers lead to an unprecedented relativism. Therefore, we try to raise the urgency of a critical analysis always in the light of the question of whether or not that idea makes me a better person in the individual and in the social, whether they humanize or not the culture. The eagerness is not to give up on our reality as personal, community and transcendent beings that we seek our fulfillment
through love, unity, truth, goodness and beauty.
