| description | This article explores the need for and possibility of constructing a rationality that transcends –without necessarily eliminating– the instrumental rationality. This rationality is not based on the preferences of the consumer, but on people’s needs; not on economic calculations but on the ethics of the common good that enable the conservation and reproduction of the natural cycle of human and natural life. This article suggests that in order to attain this rationality, a criticism of the logic of empirical fetishism is necessary; so too, is a critique of our understanding of reality constituted entirely by market relations. This requires an answer to one critical question: what kind of society do we really want? |

This rationality is not based on the preferences of the consumer, but on people’s needs; not on economic calculations but on the ethics of the common good that enable the conservation and reproduction of the natural cycle of human and natural life. This article suggests that in order to attain this rationality, a criticism of the logic of empirical fetishism is necessary; so too, is a critique of our understanding of reality constituted entirely by market relations. This requires an answer to one critical question: what kind of society do we really want? Este artículo explora la necesidad y posibilidad de construir una racionalidad que trascienda pero no necesariamente elimine la racionalidad instrumental. Dicha racionalidad se basa no en las preferencias del consumidor sino en las necesidades de las personas, no en cálculos económicos sino en una ética del bien común, que permita conservar y reproducir el circuito natural de la vida humana y de la naturaleza. Propone que para llegar a esta racionalidad se requiere de una crítica al fetichismo de la empírea, es decir, a esa imagen de realidad constituida únicamente por relaciones mercantiles. Todo esto apunta a contestar la pregunta sobre ¿cuál es la mejor sociedad?
