Abstract: There is a lack in analysing Third Sector from a philosophical perspective. It is very complicated to answer many questions that are arising: Why men are concerned to the problems other men are involved in? Which is the driving force of the Social Sector? Why are NGOs legitimated to support social matters? What have NGOs to do in the XIX century? This questions need to be answered to fix correctly future strategy, mission and objectives. It is necessary to build an ethical-political frame to understand how Third Sector works. This paper studies the relationship between NGO and beneficiary, the changes happened in the XX century and the challenges NGO need to face in the forthcoming years.
