¿Qué significa creer en los seres humanos?

This paper presents a reflection about one of the fundamental problems of existence and philosophy that is seldom systematically explored: what does it mean to believe in human beings? From the explicit recognition of multiple types of humanism, elements from literature and history,philosophy and politics are sought to be combined mainly with twopurposes: first, to understand and explain well what the problem is, andsecond, to attempt to answer the question. The reflection recognizesthat in today's world there are numerous reasons that do not allow easilyavoiding an answer to the formulated problem, but, rather, diverting theload or strength of the concern. While these reasons are identified, there is a call to place a reflective look at the focus of the problem. Believing in human beings involves, first, trusting the potential of human diversity, even believing in the impossible, in life and, despite their circumstances,in factualness and the works inherent to human beings, as well as in rules,powers, systems and structures. Throughout the text, various argumentsare illustrated and evaluated for, towards the end, suggesting that, for the imminent present and the future, the question takes an agonized tone. This tone involves the transformation of the mind and spirit of philosophy, and beyond that, of what humanism means.
