| description | In the novel Misericordia (2004) by Benito Perez Galdós there is a character, Doña Benigna, who has developed an altruistic behavior in favor of other characters. What is certain is that the origin of this cooperative behavior is unclear. We would think that it emanates either from an acquired moral religious education, or from a cultural predisposition or a genetic inheritance. The moral development of the individual is one of the foundations for the birth of man as free individual during this period of Spanish history. Benito Perez Galdós’s narrative raises a debate about the issue of morality as solidarity action in this critical period of Spain’s evolution. |
