Morin, E. (2006). El mtodo 6. tica. Madrid, Espaa: Editorial Ctedra

The philosopher antrophologist Edgar Morin, author of the book El Mtodo explain through six
volumes the great difficulty of thinking the complexity of the reality. In the Sixth volumen entitled
Ethics, proposes a particular situation of ethics as a relinking act.

The following excerpt explains how complexity must be faced in the social level:

Every glance about ethics must perceive moral act as an individual act of relinking: a relinking act
to the fellow human being, a relinking act to the community, a relinking act to the society, but at
the end, also a relinking act to the Humankind. There is an individual source of ethics placed in the
inclusiveness principle, this how the individual is included into a comunity (us), the inclussiveness
principle also takes us to the love, friendship and altruism. Inclussiveness is as worthy as relinking
(Anschlusswert). At the same time, there is a social source that lays inside the rules and norms
themselves. This source make the individuals to have a sympathetic behavior.

There is, then a kind of pre-established harmony that makes individuals to follow sympathetic
ethics. In certain point, moral is a natural concept in human beings and it depens on the human
being and social nature as well.However this definition needs to be changed, due to the doubl-
faced nature of human beigns and society. On one hand, individual is addressed under a strong
pression of egocentricity and selfishness; on the other hand, society is driven to rivalries, struggles
of selfish interests.

The ethics norms are not imposed completely to all individuals in a society; nevertheless
individuals only can have an ethical behaviour after they have ovwercame their own selfish
thoughts and desires. This issue gets worse in complex societies, where the indiviual progress is
tided to desintegratrion of traditional sympathetic concepts (Morin, 2006, pg. 24)
