The present work aims to investigate the conflicting elements of capitalism and to advocate for a prospective development model, with the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa as the leading group in this process, through the dialectical method. In the present case, the dialectical cycle was constructed on the basis of the Kantian triple classification of human actions, according to the following opposition: thesis – capitalism is capable of promoting actions contrary to duty, so that this idea strengthens theories of economic decay; Antithesis - denies the previous thesis and states that capitalism is apt to promote actions from duty and in accordance with duty, so that it reinforces the theories of humanitarian or solidarity capitalism; Synthesis – rethinks the thesis and the antithesis by suggesting that capitalism is apt to promote actions from duty but not in accordance with duty, outlining a new thesis in which capitalist practices can conform to social and environmental ethics if they are defensively oriented toward satisfaction and maintenance of the own Mode of Production. For this, the present work uses as reference what is and what is not virtue for Immanuel Kant, to present a new ethical paradigm of the right to development that is in line with the current economic system and Bernard Mandeville‟s Fable of the Bees allegory. In the international context of governance, the extraordinary projections of growth, convergent interests, geopolitical strength and confluence of strategic factors, as well as heterogeneity, granted the member countries of the acronym BRICS the aptitude to implement this new program of sustainable development, including the escalation of power relations. However, the asymmetries that thrive among such nations of such peculiar nuances need to be remedied in order not to obscure a shared project and driven by the desire to improve the international panorama, under the focus of multilateralism.
