Abstract

In this brief paper —considered as a sort of corollary to the dialogue the author held with K.O. Apel during several years— introduces a formulation of the basic principle of the “ethics of liberation” as “material ethics” which is the source of “human life”, its reproduction and development: as a criterion of the truth to assess practices and conditions of existence in real societies.
