Facing of the global climate crisis and the increase in social inequalities, it seems important to us to address theoretical proposals that not only produce a negative critique of the existing social formation, but also propose some socio-political and ethical signs to find alternatives. In this sense, the Ethics of liberation represents a theoretical contribution to thinking about the critique of Modernity, the contemporary ecological crisis and the limits of neoliberalism in the 21st century.
