To exist with and for the people: philosophico-religious roots and the need of a common moral faith.
Autor: Álvarez-Álvarez, Juan J.
Resumen: Historical dynamism, moral and religious dimensions, and even the sacral
and soteriological sense of our journey through this world can all be found in
Judaism. However, it was Christianity which overcame the temporal and national
limitations proper to the Old-Testament conception, providing new traits to the
idea of a ‘people’. This idea was at the root of political theories (especially, those
of Spaniards Vitoria and Suárez) which decisively influenced Modern Age. Nevertheless,
it was subsequently transformed and distorted by Liberal and Marxist
traditions. Traditions which, however, have shown themselves incapable of building
neither the unity needed by peoples, nor the universality to which our nature
points, nor the attention demanded of the neediest human beings. Nowadays,
to respond to these challenges in a democratic and pluralist environment, it is essential
that a moral common faith, structured around a set of objective principles
accessible to everybody (but of a Christian inspiration) exists. In the case of politicians,
it demands to exist with and for the people.
