Emotions and feelings: fundamental aspects of the Ethics of Liberation

Abstract

The central problem of this article will be the following: Why is it necessary to show that life is an essential moment of the human being and not something of which each one simply becomes aware; Why legitimize an ethical-universal principle that preserves and increases human life; what we are allowed to safeguard for the reproduction and growth of life; What role do feelings, emotions and the homeostatic process play in the contemporary understanding of these dimensions intrinsic to human life?
