Abstract

Nowadays, the idea that we are a whole, organic body, tissues of the same substances, it seems that it is sinking in the ocean’s underworld o four uncertainties. The unruled searches o four prepotences could take us to the non-sense under penalty of falling into a disproportionate hybris of a thought and behavior that auto institute as absolute. The relationships and human coexistence’s conditions are agravated. Dogmatism and skepticism seize the truth and tolerance seems to give place to indifferentism, intolerable and intolerance. In these terms, what is discussed in this article is, knowing these nuances ricoeuriennes we can make possible the analysis of activities’ conditions that integrate the ethical tissue o four human existence, that not only transfigurate, but demand redetermination of tolerance as a virtue, capable of induce a human and generous act that is based on history as etical-political principle on real and original formation of human landscape.
