discourse ethics  

Définition

  • Discourse ethics, as Jürgen Habermas himself puts it, is a “discourse theory of morality” that defends the primacy of the “just” over the “good.” It provides a procedural explanation of the moral point of view and how moral norms may be justified on the basis of reasoned discussion, argument, and agreement among participants in practical discourses. Conceptual Overview and Discussion Discourse ethics arises out of Habermas's application of his theory of communicative action, in particular the validity claim of normative rightness, to moral theory and moral philosophy.
