Abstract

This paper focuses three different ethical conceptions and itsinfluences on the formation of man. First we discuss the main cultural,political and philosophical changes that characterized occidental thought,since the source of modernity (around the sixteenth century) until thedevelopment of ideas which carried to the building of the illuministic ethicalsystem. Then we analyze Maffesoli's aesthetic concept of contemporaryethics and his criticai remarks about the universal ethical norms proposedby the Enlightenment. Finally, based on Perelman's theory ofargumentation, we point out limitations related to the ethical conceptionsdiscussed first aiming to give educators some alternatives to overcomeboth dogmatic ethical norms and axiological relativism whose contributionshave been quite negative to the humanization of man.
