Spanish term

al uso (in this context)

Spanish to English Other Religion humanism
En el fondo del espíritu humanista están la convicción y la experiencia de que los seres humanos podemos ser trasformados a un nivel que va más allá de la moral y los buenos sentimientos ***al uso***. Que podemos trabajar lo que algunos han denominado la “calidad humana”.

I am not 100% how best to translate 'al uso' in this context.


Many thanks in advance,





Sheila

I think the phrase refers to what is currently commonly accepted as moral etc. There are a couple of books with "Everyday Morality" in the title.
