%0 Journal Article %T Intersubjetividad y autorreferencialidad en la teor¨ªa ¨¦tica de C.S. Nino %A Parmigiani %A Mat¨ªas %J Di¨¢noia %D 2011 %I Instituto de Investigaciones Filos¨®ficas, UNAM %X in el constructivismo ¨¦tico, c.s. nino pointed out that "discussion and inter-subjective decision is the most trustable procedure when trying to arrive to moral truth". this epistemic thesis about moral knowledge clearly embraces a political assessment: in order to succeed at impartially satisfying the interests of everyone in a community, "the interchange of ideas and each person's necessity to justify in the face of the others" play a pivotal role. on the contrary, when the task in question is related to the auto-referential dimension of morality, the derivations of that thesis in nino's work become certainly unclear. by attempting to overstep this bound, i will explore in the present paper the connection that is supposed to exist between the social practice of moral communication and the discovery and justification of the auto-referential principles of behavior. %K moral deliberation %K autonomy %K liberalism %K perfectionism. %U http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0185-24502011000100005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
