Las insuficiencias del formalismo

Abstract

Without doubt, in modern society —specially within the European and Northeamerican boundaries— the formalistic doctrine of Dewey, Piaget, Kohlberg, Popper, Reed, Rest, Apel, Habermas and rorty has a deep influence at all levels: personal, social, political, and cultural. This study recognices the moral interest of the so called “consensus ethics”, but points out important shortcomings of this approach.
