          Abstract

          Resumen: Exponemos aquí la propuesta del filósofo francés Quentin Meillassoux (n. 1967) de que es necesario y posible asumir una idea de justicia absoluta y, por ende, fundamentar de modo absoluto nuestro compromiso con la acción justa y con el resto de los valores morales. La argumentación de Meillassoux no deja de ser novedosa, pues va a contracorriente no sólo de las diversas concepciones modernas de justicia y de fundamentación moral, sino, en general, de las concepciones sobre moralidad y justicia que se han dado en la historia del pensamiento y la cultura. Para precisar el significado de la ética de la inmortalidad de Meillassoux hacemos hacia el final una comparación con la ética kantiana, mostrando de qué manera la primera resuelve problemas no resueltos por la segunda. Esta comparación, y tal puede considerarse el aporte de nuestro trabajo, permite además precisar el significado y alcance de la propuesta de Meillassoux y de los temas en cuestión.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract: We report here the proposal of French philosopher Quentin Meillassoux (n. 1967) that it is necessary and possible to assume an idea of absolute justice and therefore justify in an absolute way our commitment to righteous action and other moral values. The rigorous argument of Meillassoux, still novel and surprising, goes against not only various modern conceptions of justice and morality, but also against general conceptions of morality and justice that have occurred in the histories of thought and of culture. His basic thesis, as we present it here, will be displayed through a concept neither theological nor religious of the "divine," (the "virtual God") but a philosophical-rational one (and yet not opposed to science), also it is a refutation of modern atheism and its variants. To clarify the meaning of Meillassoux’s ethics of immortality towards the end we compare them to Kantian ethics, showing how the first solve problems unsolved by the second.
