Abstract:
The new type of society that postmodernism brings has at its base not only a
new conception of the human being, but also on its ethical condition. To avoid any
conflict between ethical absolutism and relativism and also to avoid falling into a
nonfunctional ethical relativism, postmodern thinking brings a complex construction
of plural ethical options. We use the concepts of communication ethics,
relational ethics, interpretation ethics, responsibility ethics, dissemination ethics,
and authenticity ethics with the purpose to establish a few landmarks in configuring
the ethical attitude of the postmodern man. The construction of postmodern
ethical relativism under the sign of a relational ethics opens the ethical practices
towards a building of a reality defined by personal instances that relate to the
imagined community and an imagined horizon. The purpose of all these is to
accomplish the good life as an authentic existence.
