This question carries with it a critique of the preconventional morality of a consumer society and proposes an ethics chosen in limit situations based on the recognition of human dignity. This article analyzes this proposal from three elements: the recognition of values as moral contents that justify human choices; the understanding of ethics as a reflective dimension of morality, and the demand for the care ethics as an alternative to the individualistic ethics prevalent in consumer society. La película La carretera (The Road), basada en la novela homónima del escritor americano Cormac McCarthy, propone una pregunta ética en un escenario post-apocalíptico: ¿cuál sería el canon moral que regule las relaciones humanas ante el colapso de la cultura capitalista? Esta pregunta conlleva una crítica a la moral preconvencional de una sociedad consumista y propone una ética elegida en situaciones límite a partir del reconocimiento de la dignidad humana. El presente artículo analiza esta propuesta a partir de tres elementos: el reconocimiento de los valores como contenidos morales que justifican las elecciones humanas; la comprensión de la ética como dimensión reflexiva de la moral, y la reivindicación de la ética del cuidado como alternativa a la ética individualista prevalente en la sociedad de consumo.
