SEPFI-Revista nº 87 -Darwin en el pensamiento moral de Jean-Marie Guyau

ABSTRACT:

Jean-Marie Guyau, well-known for his writing Sketch of a morality without obligation or penalty, previously developed extensive work on utilitarian thinking which should not be viewed solely as a profound study of the most important historiographical point of this concept. Apart from this, the moral French philosopher pulled out, especially from the work of Darwin, the idea that man produces himself through multiple solidarities and that the situations which generate these multiple sociability are not reducible to the social structure of the body they appear in. The instinct, turned into consciousness and intelligence, is expressed in separate and specific actions as those we accomplish under the influence of duty.



REVISTA Nº 87
		RESUMEN: Darwin en el pensamiento moral de Jean-Marie Guyau Jordi Riba Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona Jean-Marie Guyau conocido por su escrito Bosquejo de una moral sin obligación ni sanción, desarrolló previamente un extenso trabajo sobre el pensamiento utilitario que no debe ser visto únicamente como un profundo estudio historiográfico, de los más importantes momentos, de dicha concepción moral. Además, el filósofo francés extrajo, especialmente de la obra de Darwin, la idea de que el hombre se produce a sí mismo a través de múltiples solidaridades y que las situaciones que engendran estas sociabilidades múltiples no son reducibles a la estructura del cuerpo social en que aparecen. El instinto convertido en conciencia e inteligencia se expresa en acciones distintas y determinadas como aquéllas que llevamos a cabo bajo la influencia del deber.
