Socialismo y moral

Abstract

In this brief essay, Luis Villoro comes back, again, to debate the opus of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez. Villoro specially focuses on two aspects: the connexion between liberalism and socialism, and the fundamental sense of morals in socialism and marxism. Villoro points out that socialism is a regulative ideal; for this reason it cannot be deduced from historical facts or instrumental rationality; it is, instead, a moral practice. This is one capital reason of the importance of liberalism in the socialist reflexion. In this context, Villoro looks at the work of Sánchez Vázquez as a great example of moral Socialism.
