Abstract

This essay focuses on the narcissist individualism and the multicultural notion of the other as languages that have emptied the signification of public sphere. The fragmented postmodern approaches to politics, ethics and culture have legitimized the totalitarian logic of market imposed by globalization and a public sphere that invalidates any political option that does not hold to neoliberalism. Thus, the defense of Western Civilization from the perspective of globalization constitutes the end of Modernity as exercise of autonomy and bonds of the individual to the constitutional state. A minimum of coherence is required between the political, ethical and cultural spheres and the economic approach in order that material production answers to the requirements of a democratic order and to the western project of equity and well being. But also a conception of me that assumes every human being in his simultaneous condition of me and other.
