Abstract
Existe una relevante tensión conceptual y fáctica entre la autonomía que desarrollan los seres humanos y las condiciones materiales de los orígenes sociales que han disfrutado. Para entenderla es necesario analizar la condicionalidad que se oculta en la relación entre desigualdad y autonomía desde los conceptos de pobreza, desigualdades económicas y necesidades básicas, explicitando qué y cuáles son las condiciones materiales de los orígenes sociales. Desde las necesidades básicas, que deberían ser relevantes en la fundamentación de derechos y que algunas ya se encuentran incorporadas a las obligaciones ju-rídicas de los Estados de Derecho modernos a través de los derechos sociales y su efectividad, es posible objetivar las adecuadas condiciones materiales de los orígenes sociales para garantizar niveles de desarrollo de la autonomía compatibles con la libertad real de las personas. Resulta importante, por ende, analizar la compleja relación (y las contradicciones) que la desigualdad, especialmente la desigualdad económica, mantiene con el disfrute de la autonomía de las personas, impidiendo o permitiendo que éstas puedan resultar realmente autónomas y realmente libres, desnudando el jaque (que peligra en mate) en que coloca la desigualdad a la autonomía y a la misma libertad.
There are relevant conceptual and factual tension between the autonomy that human beings really develop and the material conditions of the social origins that they have enjoyed. To understand this complexity, it is necessary to begin by analyzing the conditionality in the relationship between inequality and autonomy from the concept of poverty, economic inequalities and basic needs, explaining what the material conditions of social origins are. The theory of basic needs allows objectifying the concrete appropriate material conditions of the social origins that guarantee levels of development of autonomy compatible with the real freedom of people. Basic needs should be considered somehow in the process of the justifications of rights especially when some of those needs are included in certain legal obligations in our modern States through social rights and their effectiveness. It is therefore relevant to analyze the complex relationship (and the contradictions) that inequality, especially economic inequality, establishes with the enjoyment of people’s autonomy, preventing or allowing them to be really autonomous and, therefore, really free. In short, showing the check (and maybe the checkmate) in which inequality puts autonomy and, therefore, freedom itself.
