His interest in modes of reading on this work party, “against, of verismos that have been built around the text.” Meanwhile, Ever Eduardo Romero Velazco Machiavelli tries to show that it is inconceivable policy effectiveness without resorting evil, not because it is necessary to be immoral to be efficient in political action, but because it is an integral and unavoidable human experience. Armando Villegas contreras a reading of some rhetorical twists that appear in the writings of Machiavelli and Hobbes, which, in his view, methodological problems, because it necessary to take the metaphors and other rhetorical devices of texts as something more than an aggregate aesthetic writing both.

Justice and human rights

Justice and human rightsHumans would have to live in a society, no one can last a long time isolated from other people. Some philosophers have expressed this idea with phrases like “human beings are social animals” or “we are what we are thanks to our relationships with others Currently, a number of philosophers still remember that the person is a subject that has always lived in the creative community .. But it is impossible to live in society without the minimal rules of justice as part of the moral and should be ratified by law.

A. Rules and the game with a fellowship

There are several types of standards that we humans are to guide the behavior of people in society: there is a moral, which is their universal needs, because they show how everyone should behave if you want to behave humanely, other legal entity, which is an established authority in each political authority, and directed to all members, and others use more social, which are practices that do not have a standard range of moral or legal validity of the bay, the dress code, etiquette, etc..

There are occasions when the law and morality against certain social practices.

Before the rules of all kinds, namely, the question at least three different things: the right, if it is legal and what extent it is true. When we ask whether the rule is right or wrong, we propose a moral issue, this is a matter of moral legitimacy, so that it focuses on the ethical aspects. To answer this question, we need to clarify our criteria of social justice, and we will draw on different theories of justice. But if we ask whether a law or illegal, we face the question of the validity or legality of the law: the rule of law can be part of a country, or at least not against the law, and then we say that it is legal, if not to say illegal, This aspect is to the knowledge of law, namely the right. Finally, when we consider the question whether a social rule at this time, we refer to the social success of the standard: a standard may have little social acceptance, but is morally correct or even if it is legally valid, and instead to other people who enjoy the recognition that widely in practice, regardless of whether they are supported by morality or law, the social aspects of the effective interest primarily to sociology.

Three analytical perspectives of social norms that we have noted (ethics, law and sociology) are somewhat independent under its own approach and methods, but there is some connection between them. For example, the law can not ignore ethics, since one of the legal function is to serve as a legal means to achieve and maintain a just society, and ethics that we have to clarify what social justice.

2. – The theory of justice.

Justice comes from the Latin word “iustitia” that Roman law is translated as “constant and continues to give everyone his rights. There are several theories of justice, is as follows.

Plato: justice and social harmony aristocratic. For Plato, perfectly just society would be one in which each function is performed correctly assigned to the authorities, according to their physical and mental abilities. Plato proposed to all political forces to guard wise, and distribute economic goods so that social goals have priority over the individual. As for how to allocate the functions, proposed to be carried out under natural talent shows in the early years of the boy or girl, without discrimination based on sex. Thus, command posts the best coverage, and you can achieve social harmony in which he says, is justice. Read the rest of this entry »
