Globalisation and Relations

Abstract

In his Encyclical Letter Caritas in veritate Pope Benedict XVI suggests the convenience of a metaphysical study on the category of relation, as the proper way for studying the human international community considered as a family, in which interpersonal relations have particular relevance. Following that suggestion, this paper deals with both predicative and transcendental relations, with the special importance and dignity of interpersonal relations, and with global solidarity based in the natural inclinations of the human person.
