Abstract

Contemporary ethics turns around two major problematic axes.  On one side, the questions about the responsibility of the State to enable and promote individual development and, on the other side, the primary concern of each individual to realize his own interests. The current article approaches two important thinkers of the XIX century who provided enabling frameworks for reflecting on these issues: Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although these philosophers of the suspicion did not create an ethical system as such, they provided elements for understanding the contemporary ethos, meaning character forgery and house caring.
