- Title
Ethics and Social Responsibility in High Education: Responding and Accountability.
- Authors
Zamora Calvo, José M.
- Abstract
This paper focuses on the analysis of the concept of responsibility from a philosophical perspective, applied to higher education, highlighting its ethical, social and environmental dimensions. The concept of responsibility is crucial in contemporary ethics, from the proposal of the tension between ethics of conviction and ethics of responsibility (Weber). Responsible judgment considers humanity as a subject and proposes a revised categorical imperative (Jonas). The ethical responsibility we owe to the world concerns the future of humanity. Responsibility appears in the governance and university structure within the delegation of power in the collegiate bodies. Governing bodies must respond and be accountable to the university community they represent. Service-learning represents a practice of social responsibility that contributes to making the university an ethically responsible institution, with a global and inclusive character in society. Education in social responsibility in research contributes to the search for the common good.
