In the framework of the moral naturalism Peter F. Strawson proposes that morality is part of our natural participation in human relations where others cannot turn out indifferent to us. Nevertheless, this undeniable theoretical achievement of Strawson, can result weakened because of the insufficient importance that the Anglo-saxon gives to moral communities. Acutely, has said Rorty, moral sentiments in the way conceived by Strawson do not takes place outside or to the margin of diverse moral communities. This issue has conducted us to affirm, inspired in Rorty, that being responsible for the other depends on the possibility of built more inclusive moral communities. We guess Baeir's approach related to sentimental education should be added to that, which starts from the birth with the lovely reception of our relatives, who through their dearness progressively are giving us the initial trust that will permit us conquer "a modest version, attenuated, non fanatic of the Christian brotherhood"* of universal reach.

Keywords : A. Baeir; moral communities; trust; moral sentiments; Strawson; R. Rorty.
