Abstract

Antonio Millán-Puelles initiates a new approach to moral. Although he is not the first person using the concept of realistic ethics, he is indeed the first one providing a structured justification about the precise meaning of the expression. His ethics is built axing around two basic elements. The first one is freedom; it allows man to fail his own behavior, e.g. his own nature, but it also enables him to fully develop all his potentialities. The second element is the affirmation of humane nature as something real and previous that we do not give to ourselves, a nature that is deep-rooted in our behavior and the one that gives rise to a judgment by which we assess an action as "humane" or "inhumane."
