For an Ethics of the Meeting

I to the Other

Abstract

The objective of this work is to bring a reflection considering the encounter, a fundamental presupposition in the ethical formation of the Christian. For this, it is necessary to differentiate the concepts: Person and individual important step to think the relations of the encounter. The “I” as a person, differs from the individual, because it divides and dialogues with the other: God, himself, the simile and nature. How to think an ethic that includes meeting as a place for dialogue and for building a more just and fraternal society? Here is the question that will guide this article. It is necessary to form a more critical Christian conscience, in dialogue with the individualistic and egocentric reality in which we find ourselves. The method used considers the observation about the difficulties of the meeting; the biblical-theological orientation as lights to illuminate the encounter and the search for attitudes essential for good relationship and well-being. There are several references, but we look for those more linked to Christian Personalist Thinking and that try to approach the person as being of encounter and dialogue.
