In capitalist modernity, human beings are subjected to a way of life that contributes to the accumulation of capital, which means that every practice, both productive and reproductive, constitutes "a vehicle for the valorization of value"; the problematic aspect of this is its results: crises of all kinds, one of which is the crisis of reproductive care (of the healthy society-nature relationship), manifested today through a worldwide pandemic. But on what is this way of life sustained? In the search for the answers, a dialogue is proposed with two Latin American philosophers: Bolívar Echeverría and Enrique Dussel. The reflection is developed in three moments: first, capitalist modernity is characterized geohistorically; this gives rise to the dialogue and the contrast of ideas between our main authors; finally, the conclusions of this dialogue are observed in the light of the presentation of two practical proposals of ways of life centered on the generation of vital conditions. It is concluded that there are material conditions, culturally relevant, to counteract the expansion and intensification of the capitalist way of life.
