- Title
Hume y Foucault sobre la distinción entre ética y estética.
- Authors
ZAVALA SCHERER, DEMETRIO
- Abstract
This text takes the notion of Enlightenment as its starting point, and looks at certain hermeneutical connections between David Hume and Michel Foucault regarding the issue of morality. What the author finds, in the case of Hume, is that the systematic development of certain premises of his thinking lead to the conclusion that there is a co-implication between the practice of (enlightened) moral reflection and (the achievement of) justice. When it comes to Foucault, the author finds that the reconsideration of the notion of Enlightenment leads to a radical polarization of morality. Nonetheless, what underlies both positions is the crucial intuition that the (self-)contemplative dimension of moral reflection constitutes the core of the genuine experience of freedom.
