Abstract
The thesis that guides this research is the defense of an epistemology of care about our ‘common home’ in the Encyclical Laudato Si. The authors seek to define the meaning of this metaphor and argue that its contents can guide the construction of sustainable solutions to the serious problems in Latin America, specifically, social inequalities, deficiencies of democracy, the exclusion of cultures, the emptyness of the institutions and the incorrect use of environmental and natural resources. The main objective of this study is to inquire how the "common home" becomes the epistemic vector to care actions for a new design of living based on the centrality of qualified life among Man and Nature in Latin America. The approach method was deductive. As part of our conclusions, recognition and development of the "common home" of Latin Americans perpetuates the Commom Good among all beings from responsibilities which manifests in a systemic, cooperative and integrated way.
