Aportes bioéticos y franciscanos en torno a una antropología de la muerte y una hermenéutica del dolor

Abstract

Next, we want to put for the reader’s consideration the reflection carried out around two related topics both to Bioethics and to Franciscan Humanism: pain and death. The double horizon of thought proposes the discursive debate based on two questions: How can the meaning of pain and death be understood in the proposed double perspective? And how does pain influence, build, rebuild the subject in contemporary society? Likewise, it is proposedto detect some of the most outstanding conceptions of the phenomenon of death among students and the attentive care that both teachers and curricula will take into account, to work on the meaning and meaning of life in the subjects-objects of study. From our belonging and identity as a Bonaventurian university, these hermeneutics, which were carried out from a pluralistic and interdisciplinary perspective, also sought to highlight the horizon of Franciscan meaning, for this reason questions such as: What does Franciscan spirituality contribute to topics such as these: pain from an anthropological perspective and death as an anthropological-existential category?
