Abstract

This article approaches the Albrecht Wellmer's critic to moral theories which are based on universalistic principles. Our starting point is his attempt to review the very idea of moral universalism. Afterwards, we lean over his radical critics to all kinds of principiological moral universalism, whose main example, on his theoretical context, is the Jürgen Habermas's Ethic of Discourse. Finally, we try to grasp some possible alternatives, overall the possibility of elaboration of moral theory on the basis of a theory of social recognition.Este artigo trata das críticas, elaboradas por Albrecht Wellmer, ao tipo de teoria moral baseada em princípios universalistas. Inicialmente, é abordada sua tentativa de uma reelaboração da própria idéia de universalismo moral, para depois esboçar a radicalidade de sua crítica a qualquer moral universalista. Nesse ponto, a Ética do Discurso de Jürgen Habermas, é que lhe serve de objeto. Por fim, também a partir de Wellmer, apontam-se possíveis alternativas a esse tipo de ética, sobretudo, a formulação de um ponto de vista moral fundamento numa teoria do reconhecimento social.
