Summary/Abstract: The article evaluates the stage where ethical reflection got to as a consequence of the relativism-universalism dispute. The suppositions, arguments and counterarguments of the two modalities for conceiving morality are analysed. Global ethics is interpreted as a try for solving these endless controversies, a try for attenuating the tension created by the existence of an impressive variety of ethical conceptions in the conditions where as a consequence of globalization the necessity for generalising the moral is exacerbated.
