The paper aims to reflect on the relationship between ethics and politics on the contemporary horizon. The identity politics that threatens the world represents the decline of ethics in globalized society; the laws of the market and finance have established a ‘morality of domination’ centered on individuality. The conflict, therefore, returns to being a fundamental cultural bridge to recover and found a true constituent democracy connected to a new ‘ethics of the multitudes’. Peace becomes the fundamental objective to create a new constituent ethic where democracy is a collective concrete practice.
