Abstract

This paper offers a description of the characteristics and relevance of universalism in Discourse Ethics (1) and set against the way universality is understood in the two principal Latin American ethical theories which have critically assumed the universalist understanding of Discourse Ethics: Ethics of Liberation (2) and Convergent Ethics (3). The aim is to illuminate coincidences and divergencies. The final section of the paper proposes an analysis of the relevance and actuality of the universalist proposal of Karl-Otto Apel's Discourse Ethics for the ethical-philosophical reflection in Latin America.
