BUENO FERREIRA, Carlos Roberto. On values and norms hilary putnam and the search for consensus between moral obligation and relativism. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.163, pp.261-271. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n163.50147.

The article analyzes the possibility of reconciling skepticism with moral theories and the idea that moral philosophy is the supreme arbiter of all moral justification. We cannot take universally valid maxims as descriptive rules nor can we fall into an individualistic relativism. H. Putnam seeks to deconstruct Habermas' separation of values and norms, and, in doing so, he shows the need for such a reconciliation.

Palabras clave : H. Putnam; J. Habermas; morality; relativism; values.
