No. 7 (2012)
Filosofía Moral, Política y del Derecho / Moral, Political and Legal Philosophy

Our aim is to emphasize that not even the most lofty rationality in the Kantian style nor the most excessive search of pleasure in the sadiano style, can fulfill the complexity of the being, nor make a bet clearly consisting of ethical terms. We will show that the pretension of universality that the authors share in their perspectives bring about the concealment of a human being who is not so strictly rational and also not so passionate. They both insist on the impossible thing, on the unattainable, on the overbearingly formal.

Abstract

Our aim is to emphasize that not even the most lofty rationality in the Kantian style nor the most excessive search of pleasure in the sadiano style, can fulfill the complexity of the being, nor make a bet clearly consisting of ethical terms. We will show that the pretension of universality that the authors share in their perspectives bring about the concealment of a human being who is not so strictly rational and also not so passionate. They both insist on the impossible thing, on the unattainable, on the overbearingly formal.
