HABERMAS: THE PASSAGE FROM SUBJECT ETHICS TO DISCOURSE ETHICS

Abstract

This article proposes to discuss ethics in Habermas’ view. In the work, we will explain how Habermas builds his Discourse Ethics from a reformulation of Kant’ Categorical Imperative. This is because, as form Kant, Habermas that moral norms must be subject to universalization. However, for the philosopher of pragmatismo, this universalization is no longer the resulto f the subject’s monological refletion, but the result of discourse.
