A crise da razão: elementos para pensar a educação moral no campo da Bioética

Abstract

It is a commonplace the idea that we are facing a moral crisis, which rages us in a radical way these days. In this sense, a great flow of work in the field of Health seeks to delineate the specific contours of this crisis and outline some possibilities to confront with its unfolding, with emphasis on what has been consecrated in the literature as “moral education”. On the track of these questions, we propose this article that aims to establish a different perspective for the crisis. Through an effort of philosophical nature, and with the philosopher Martin Heidegger as a guide in this journey, we sought to discuss the crisis by addressing it’s most Castroessential nature and denouncing the insufficiency of contemporary “moral education” in face of the nature of the crisis.
