A nova legislação brasileira foi bem recebida por um amplo segmento da sociedade, incluindo-se aí a comunidade médica, a igreja católica, e jornalistas. A discussão em torno desse tema passou a ser articulada em torno do conceito de “ortotanásia”. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em, por um lado, apresentar argumentos em favor do suicíd…Read more

80Moralidade positiva e moralidade críticaVeritas – Revista de Filosofia da Pucrs 60 (1): 148-166. 2015.Moral beliefs and attitudes may vary to great extent across different societies. Even within the same society, the prevailing moral beliefs and attitudes may vary throughout the history of this society. The moral beliefs and attitudes that prevail in a given society, at a given time, constitute the “positive morality” of this society. But can we morally assess the “positive morality”? In this paper I present reasons so as to give this question an affirmative answer. I argue that the moral assess…Read more

24Disposições morais e a fundamentação da moralidade a partir da perspectiva contratualistaCadernos de Ética E Filosofia Política 1 (12): 7-20. 2008.This paper aims at clarifying the concept of moral dispositionsfrom a contractarian perspective. I have in mind the kind of moral theoryadvanced by David Gauthier. My intention is to show that the thesisaccording to which it would be rational, for the sake of self-interest, to“choose” being moved by a sense of justice must be construed in termsof the rationality of a choice for the creation and support of the institutionswhich are at the root of our moral dispositions.

61Multilateralismo e governança: a institucionalização difusa dos direitos humanos no contexto da política internacionalEthic@ - An International Journal for Moral Philosophy 6 (1). 2007.In the first part of this paper I point out the reasons in virtue of which human rights discourse was seen with scepticism, in the first half of twentieth century, in its capacity to compel states to act morally in the context of international relations. Then, in the second part, I examine the reasons in virtue of which this kind of scepticism lessened at the end of the Cold War. I argue that an ever growing interaction among actors in international relations – including non-state actors – has c…Read more
