Abstract
BARRIENTOS RASTROJO, JOSÉ. ARGUMENTATIVE JUSTIFICATION AND INTUITIVE SUBTLETY IN THE REALIZATION OF ETHICAL ACTION. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.154, pp.215-242. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v63n154.31950.
The article analyzes the hermeneutical bases of all ethical decisions. Moral norms require an understanding of the circumstances, since good ethical judgments can only be made on that basis. While for Peter Singer, the tools for that understanding are rational, Mauricio Beuchot expands them through intuition and subtlety. The paper discusses whether Singer's claims are substantiated in his works.
Keywords : P. Singer; M. Beuchot; ethical decision; circumstances.
