The materialistic message of the ideologies of liberalism, of socialism and technology
Main Article Content
Abstract
We analyze ideologies to demonstrate that their materialistic roots are at the origin of many problems in society. The economy –that is, production and consumption– defines the human person. The human being is a by product of the economy. This definition obscures the conscience that is the basis of ethics and therefore of the dignity of the person, because science and technology always occur in relation to free men whose encounters have a cultural-ethical meaning. We cannot be indifferent to the transcendent that cannot be verified by experiments or deduced rationally. Faith opens a different horizon for us.
