Abstract
NEIRA F, Germán. THE DYNAMICS OF JUDGMENTS OF VALUES IN MORAL AUTOTRANSCENDENCE. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2008, vol.58, n.165, pp.201-224. ISSN 0120-3649.
The author presents an aspect of moral theology that deals with the dynamics of the judgment of values in the process of taking decisions. In the present purpose of seeking a common consense about minimal values, as a common basis for the dialogue about moral social responsibility, Bernard Lonergan makes explicit the basic dynamics of human behaviour which, being common to all, should make possible a way of authenticity and positive moral realization that we seek. We find ourselves in the existential field of decisions. In a previous paper (Theologica Xaveriana 55/3, 463-476) the author exposed the dynamics of feelings and values as constituent of morality. As a complement, he deals now with the dynamics of the judgment of values in the process of taking decisions and of moral autotranscendence.
