Abstract

Philosophy is a vital axis for building a global ethical consciousness. It is not limited to institutions or abstract theories: its transformative power manifests itself in daily life, in the way we relate to one another, to other living beings, and to planet Earth. Faced with the contemporary environmental and social crisis, philosophy offers critical and ethical frameworks that guide justice, sustainability, and shared responsibility. Thus, it reveals itself as an indispensable practice for preserving life, strengthening community cohesion, and consolidating a culture of respect for the common home of all living beings.

Author Biographies

PhD, Autonomous University of Querétaro

Eduardo Farías Trujillo earned his Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Theology in 1996 and, in 2003, his Master's degree in Theology and Patristic Sciences from the Augustinianum Institute of the Lateran University in Rome, Italy. From 2004 to 2015, he taught Dogmatic Theology and Sacraments at the Major Seminary of Morelia, Mexico. For several years, he served as the general director of the Vasco de Quiroga Institute in Morelia. In 2015, he changed careers, joining the Bioethics Unit at the Autonomous University of Querétaro (UAQ), where he taught English, French, Latin, and Greek in the Faculty of Philosophy. In 2018, he completed his Master's degree in Ethics and Applied Bioethics at UAQ. A graduate of the Caribbean Research Ethics Education Initiative (CREEi) with Basic and Advanced Diplomas in Research Ethics, he completed a third Master of Science degree in Research Ethics at Clarkson University in New York in 2020. He now teaches philosophy in the Research Ethics Specialization and bioethics in the Master's Program in Bioethics at the UAQ Law School. He has been a speaker and organizer of various courses, symposia, and seminars at UAQ in collaboration with the Bioethics Unit, of which he is now a member of the executive committee. He served as the first Coordinator of the Research Ethics Specialization at the Faculty of Philosophy and, to this day, is the administrator, along with Raúl Jiménez of the National Bioethics Commission, of the Bioethics Unit's online training courses. His early publications on theology and patristic studies have now been complemented by articles on casuistry, feminist ethics, bioethics pedagogy, and “emerging problems between Authority and Power.” Eduardo is co-author with Robert T. Hall of “Clinical Bioethics: A Brief Introduction,” and with Salvador Arellano of “Bioethics without Biomorality,” both published by the National Bioethics Commission in 2020. He currently holds a doctorate in bioethics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and coordinates the Bioethics Unit (http://unidadbioetica.com/) at the Autonomous University of Querétaro, Faculty of Philosophy.
