PANDEMIZE RELATIONSHIPS OF PROXIMITY. LUKE 10, 25-37 IN THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL PROPOSAL OF LAÍN ENTRALGO

Abstract

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 is a propitious time to restore a praxis of Samaritan love. Virosis, like any disease, is a kairotic moment to reinterpret the meaning of existence and approach the other (pandemize relationships). The central objective of the writing is directed to make an approach to the parable of the merciful Samaritan (Lk. 10, 25 - 37) from the anthropological  categories - Encounter, belief and samaritan love- highlighted by the Spanish doctor, in his work Teoría y realidad del otro, Volume II. For this purpose, the text will be structured in four moments from which, first, the historical roots of modern individualism will be questioned; It will bring the parable into the biography and autobiography of the Spanish doctor; a plesiology of everyday life will be constituted from the categories encounter, belief and Samaritan love and, finally, it will be called to make interpersonal  relationships something common in today’s society. In this way, the author suggests, fraternity and social friendship can be lived in response to the global crisis that society is experiencing: that of interpersonal relationships.
