Una interpretación naturalista
The proposal developed here offers an alternative approach to classical paradigms regarding the deontological foundations of morality. Through an analytical approach, it aims to outline a naturalistic theory of meaning that establishes that what characterizes us as humans has a fundamentally biological-evolutionary basis: the tendency to justify and regulate our actions according to moral principles originates in language, which is essentially a more evolutionarily complex mode of reasoning than that present in pre-linguistic individuals. Furthermore, language is a prerequisite for the moral emotions that give relevance to human actions and to the sense of morality. This approach, which should not be confused with reductionist materialism, draws on contemporary scientific contributions from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the ethology of social behavior.
