Summary/Abstract: The first judgments of moral value appeared in close connection with religious doctrines from the beginning of history and have remained to this day major components of religiosity and, at the same time, important sources for the constitution of moral doctrines. From a religious point of view, morality has its origins in the great religions of the world, which constitute the "embryogenesis" of morality. It starts from a formative disposition, from the ability to react and act reasonably of a person in relation to another person, while faith implies choice and trust in divine revelation.Morality shows us how to relate to each other, being the bridge between religion and philosophy. From the moral teaching of Jesus Christ we deduce as a social motive the fact that every conduct of a man must accept the value of his fellow man, his own conduct before the others being always determined by the responsibility of each one towards God.Immanuel Kant presents morality from a metaphysical-religious point of view, admitting that no matter how much man struggles with the senses, he will not be able to subjugate them so as to achieve a harmony between matter, will and moral law, postulating in this sense. you feel three great contemplations: freedom of will, immortality of the soul, and the existence of God.
