Aportes del pensamiento de Bernard Lonergan a la fundamentación de los derechos humanos
Abstract (en)
In this article Louis Roy tries a fundamentation of human rights from the perspective of B. Lonergan. The universality of these is laid on the human nature, as dynamical, operating and historical. The human intentionality looks for the objectivity, unfolding its power in four levels: experience, understanding, judgment and action. From this dynamism there come out four rules: be kind, be intelligent,be reasonable and be responsible. The discovery of the value of these considerations bases and safeguards the human rights. Its ignorance generates the distortion of the human being. In order to correct the deviations,
intellectual, moral and religious conversions are due to be given, which suppose faith, since it allows to recognize values more clearly.
Key words: Human rights, human nature, intentionality, values, conversion, faith.

En este artículo se intenta una fundamentación de los derechos humanos desde la perspectiva
de Bernard Lonergan. La universalidad de éstos está cimentada en la naturaleza
humana, que es dinámica, operante e histórica. La intencionalidad humana busca la
objetividad, desplegando su poder en cuatro niveles: la experiencia, la comprensión, el
juicio y la acción. De este dinamismo se desprenden cuatro preceptos: sé atento, sé
inteligente, sé razonable y sé responsable. El descubrimiento del valor de estos imperativos
fundamenta y salvaguarda los derechos humanos. Su desconocimiento engendra la
distorsión del ser humano. Para corregir las desviaciones debe haber conversiones intelectuales,
morales y religiosas, las cuales suponen la fe, ya que ésta permite reconocer con
más claridad los valores.
