"Creo urgente seguir la intuición de Gebara si la ética, tan necesaria hoy, ha de responder relevante y significativamente a las múltiples realidades que marcan el mundo latinoamericano y caribeño al inicio del milenio. Considero que el tipo de ética que se conoce como “contextualismo”, a diferencia del tipo deontológico (no-consecuencialista) o del tipo teleológico (consecuencialista) —los tipos de ética tradicionales—, ofrece un enfoque que responde a estas preocupaciones. Este artículo revisa “el estado de la cuestión” de una ética contextual en América Latina y el Caribe. Presenta de forma breve el pensamiento de algunos pensadores, tanto antiguos como contemporáneos, que nos dan pistas o que están “abriendo brecha” hacia esta nueva clase de reflexión moral. Una tarea pendiente es tomar sus contribuciones para desarrollar una teoría más completa."Date

What is Moral and (or) Ethical Leadership?Ilomäki, Markus (UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ, 2014-10)Are we in need of moral and (or) ethical leadership? It is not hard to answer this question and as time has passed it has become more or less a rhetorical question. All one has to do is open the newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, to discover that someone has had to step down or resign after unethical practices in business or politics. It is not long ago that EU elected the French banker Jean-Claude Trichet to head its central bank after a delay due to Mr. Trichet being tried for fraud in France. Following this event Silvio Berlusconi received the EU presidency for the next six months while corruption charges still persist on his head (BBC News). Some months later Italian foods giant Parmalat suddenly files for bankruptcy because billions of euros are missing from its books; the list goes on and on. It is clear that if moral and ethical leadership is needed it is needed today more than ever.
