On the Ontologization of Socio-Ethical Choice: Why do Some People Want to Live in a Solidary Society, and Others in a Competitive Society?

An analysis of the main approaches to the foundations of ethics is carried out. It is shown that reason is not an opposition to egoism: in most cases, when talking about the rational justification of morality, it implies the desire to justify morality as a derivative of the instinct of self-preservation. It is also shown that reducing the ideological choice of liberalism-socialism only to profit and/or manipulation is an inadequate simplification of the issue. The possibility of ontologizing socio-ethical choice in the field of ideology based on the previously proposed dualistic approach to solving the mind-body problem is explained.
