Abstract
From the starting point of a consensus on global ethics, it is wondered which are the conditions for such ethics, based on the Good Samaritan parable. (Luke 10, 25-37). In the context of this parable we can identify the necessary elements in order to define a global ethics, regarding also the thought of the philosophers Levinás and Cortina, which serves as a basis for a phenomenological reading of the parable. This way, new conceptualizations about life styles can be made, lifestyles represented by the different characters that play a
role in the parable, whether real or fictional. Thus, we confirm the existence of a relation between global ethics and the parable, because the later is proposed a an ethics of maxims, from Neo-TestamentaryAretology to the axiological visualization leading the way to the affirmation of an eschatological life also initiated in the earthly life.
