Résumé
--
When we have to confront major choices in life - such as medical reproductive assistance, or having to deal with dependent relatives - is it possible to find a core of basic values that surpass our differences, references that all can share? Isn't it true that ethical standards only possess the authority of circumstance allotted to them by temporary political majorities? The ambition of this essay is perhaps naive: it sets out to find a common ground from which we can draw values acceptable to all human beings. To do this, the author identifies the fundamental concepts of traditional ethics and proposes a system of thought founded on the structures of the human psyche, a system he calls 'the ethics of the common man' - a man with no special training, who lives by virtue of his common sense and experience. The author develops an authentic theory of the spirit, the human being and his dignity.
