A relação entre ética e moral na teoria discursiva habermasiana

Authors

Abstract

This article presents the unfolding of the relationship between the moral and the ethical spheres in Habermas’s Discourse Ethics in the last years. In order to accomplish such task, I will begin by showing the capital elements for this dynamics, pointing out what joins Morality and Ethical Life, namely, the concept of man. Based on a certain consideration about the meaning of human, I emphasize, in a second moment, the silence of that philosopher’s thought about the question of moral motivation. By the end, however, I will argue how this problematic itself comes back in Habermas’s book The Future of Human Nature, promoting a redirection between both spheres – especially the Ethical Life, if compared to his 1980’s texts.
