Summary/Abstract: In every historical period man has been guided by ethical and/or moral imperatives. According to them, his behavior must not harm other individuals. If the man of Modernity was under the empire of the Kantian categorical imperative, the postmodern individual is looking for an ethics of our times. Along with postmodernity, the technique and technology that change in the state of being of the individual is developing more and more. All this has contributed to the emergence of new problems that ethics tries to offer solutions to.
