Intersubjetividad y autorreferencialidad en la teoría ética de C.S. Nino

in el constructivismo ético, 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.
