Summary: The Homo Oeconomics society, which actions react from the market laws and the cartesian ideas, is often criticized by us. It is the society that is oriented by the spheres of legality, of morality and of all fights in favor of survival. This paper is a humanist denounce of philosophical, scientific and political aspect in favor of life. It explains how the process of fragmentation of Knowledge and scientific, legitimised by the public politics, happens in this moral society that does not favor ethics. Based on that, we defend the necessity of the resurrection of ethics, according to Spinoza, for the construction of a society made by the development of mans potential capacities that are still castrated by the sciences and governmental politics. The economic dictatorship promoted by the race to growth and development has hindered man to be in the center of these politics, propagating states of misery and social chaos.
