Open to read “The fragility of goodness” Martha Nussbaum, unable to
walk much, I received and opened it to read “The idea of the good in Plato and Aristotle” Hans-Georg Gadamer, was not too far, but in both I am happy to realize that it is a matter that belongs to the foundations of our Western thought, not just the Judeo-Christian.
I return to our time, and retrace reading Habermas, and it against a self-criticism of both Kantian as Hegelian issues, looking at Peter Frederick Strawson (1919-2006), Paul Lorenzen (1915-1994) and Popper and understand a little better question of good, with the idea that modernity brought “grand unilateralizations” but that was to claim to preserve the unity of reason in the cultural field, without going through the subjective questions.
Habermas goes to the practical point of life, and although people are inconsistent in daily life with the understanding of what is right and what is good, there are problems when we want to explain the meaning of terms such as, “So good” or even ” the book is heavy, “because not reducible to a rational simple logic type” s p “, since there are many meanings in the experience of each of the same logical proposition.
Moral dilemmas in Habermas’s view, first arise in the world of life, the Lebenswelt which is the first of the moral to the philosopher, and will be in this world that they will see a “communicative action”, “to interactions in which people involved sets according to co-ordinate their action plans, the agreement reached in each case measured by the intersubjective recognition of the claims [of validity “(Habermas, 1989, P. 79).
Habermas raises the problem that goes from proposition to the understanding, recurring problem in the world of language, but now with an imperative: “Either we say that is the case or which is not the case or well we say something to others, so that he understands what is said “(Habermas, 1989, p. 40). It features the pragmatic-linguistic argument the validity of the objective world of things, the normative world of rules setting out what should be in the subjective world of experiences, and draws the moral standards and safeguards Ethics.
My conclusion is inevitable, it lacked the ontological understanding that is not subjective, not even hidden to be unveiled, understand the way Gadamer and Martha Nussbaum.
