The economy is a dimension of the human being. Therefore, considering it philosophically presupposes a human being determined conception, as material/biological being which carries itself out economically, constituting a system of relations of productions, partition, and consume in a social context. To the actual project of capitalism, we might not judge nature laws as good or bad ones, like we might not judge the market laws: they impose themselves on us. The market does not belong to the field of human interactions; it is something uncontrollable. However, there is no purpose to raise ethical issues. This paper seeks to demonstrate, on the horizon of another conception of human being, that what it is at stake in ethics is the conquest of the human being as a free being. That means the configuration of his historical life as a construction of the relation between nature and his peers. The fundamental ethic demand is respect to every being, which requires an overcoming of every social order rooted in the exploration and in social and ecological injustice.
