"The consumer society invites us to satisfy our desires in real time, but we need to look beyond immediate pleasure if we want to achieve sufficiently valuable goals." This was stated at the University by Enrique Moros, professor of the School Ecclesiastical Philosophy and director of the IV Symposium of the Society of Catholic Philosophers (SOFIC).

Focused on 'Human body and identity staff', the congress was attended by more than two hundred people from European countries such as Portugal, Italy and France, and from Latin American countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina. Among the participants were university professors, philosophers, doctors, engineers, theologians and scientists, among others.

Professor Moros points out that the goal of congress was to welcome the different scientific and philosophical developments on human corporeality. In this sense, he affirms that "at the same time that corporeality is exalted in its most visible aspects, no one is satisfied with what is and, moreover, we want to live longer and, if possible, always". And he pointed out that for this it is necessary to overcome the limits of our corporeality: "What are we beyond our body? Man is a bodily being, but he is also a spiritual being. Our intelligence allows us to know reality and, to a large extent, to transform it in order to achieve our objectives".

Throughout the two days, presentations, communications, round tables, panel discussions and debates were held with the aim of investigating the complex constitution of the human being, "from the biological principles of the being itself to the always unfinished reality of its development and growth in knowledge and in virtues".

Five plenary sessions and 36 communications

A phenomenological perspective'.

position The fourth plenary session was given by José Ángel Lombo, professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome), who spoke on 'The unity of man from the reality of death'.
