Joseph: A different Ethics is Possible
Joseph: A different Ethics is Possible

Summary/Abstract: The matter of this paper is the ethics of masculinity in the contemporary world from the perspective of the figure of St. Joseph. As a “just man” St. Jospeh has been understood in the writings of St. Alphons M. Liguori as a man who possesses all the vir- tues. Starting from this assertion the author develops the ethics of masculinity. In the first point is the speech about the masculine form of justice. The next point concerns some of the problems with masculinity in the contemporary world. At the end of this article the author speaks about concrete proposals for the masculinity in our days on the basis of the figure of St. Joseph. The paper presents the possibility of morality, that abandons the paradigm of control and dominion and embraces the style of sharing and of caring.
