Problems of Postmodern Ethics

Summary/Abstract: Authors attempt to identify a set of ethical problems which, according to their opinion, sigificantly undermine the domination of modern normative as well as applicative models to include even ‘the death of ethical’, or the replace¬ment of ethics with esthetics. Lévinas’ reflections on the Face of the Other, or Derrida’s reflections on the meaning of death for ethics announce, as authors suggest, ‘the ethical turn’ within the confines of Postmodern philosophy that had occurred during 1980’s. After the analysis of Lévinas’ ethics and its fun¬damental terms such as Face-to-face, and responsibility, authors forcus on the Neopragmatist ethics of Richard Rorty in order to introduce specific ‘anglo¬phone’ view of Postmodern philosophy. In its final part, on the basis of Fou¬cault’s theory, authors introduce distinctions between ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’, and genetic technology.
