Abstract

Hate speech has increased with the advent of social media and constitutes a social scourge insofar as it fuels discrimination and violence towards certain individuals because they belong to certain stigmatized groups. Considering this problem, the aim of this paper is to analyze the extent to which a values-based philosophy of education can contribute to the elimination of such hate speech. It denounces the technocratic confusion of attempting to solve ethical problems with technological innovation without addressing the underlying intrinsic values that should guide our actions. To carry out the study, hermeneutic methodology has been used insofar as it seeks to adequately understand the axiological dimension in people's actions and character building. Among the main results obtained is taht the philosophy of ethical education in values allows us to recognize the need for intrinsic values as a guide for instrumental values. The main conclusion is that ethical education in values not consist of theoretical learning of moral values but rather the ethical realization of values. Thus, in the face of the problems of moral disconnection, ethical education in values conceives freedom of expression as linked to personal responsability.
