Keywords: ethics; inter-subjectivity; value judgment; responsibility, categorical imperative.

Summary/Abstract: K. O. Apel is preoccupied with the grounding and foundations of an ethics of joint responsibility, such that the control of the alienating, anti-human and anti-humanistic consequences of the technical and scientific society be possible. The nucleus of the argumentation resides within the displaying of the inter-subjective and dialogic structure of logic, reason, and discourse; this reference cancels the scientist attitude assumed by analytic epistemologies and, at the same time, the methodic and methodological solipsism having a Cartesian origin.
