Habermas, and today they are widely known; it is a current of such life and vigour that its very creators have engaged in lively polemics. This paper, starting from K.O. Apel' s texts, attempts to explore in what measure this discursive ethics provides philosophical foundations for political democracy and to determine the basic elements necessary for the construction of a universal ethics. ; La ética discursiva o ética comunicativa nace en los años setenta de nuestro siglo de la mano de K.O. Apel y J. Habermas y hoy en día se encuentra ampliamente difundida; hasta tal punto se trata de una corriente llena de vida, que entre sus mismos creadores se producen vivas polémicas. En el artículo se intenta, a partir de los trabajos de K. O. Apel, mostrar en qué medida esta ética discursiva fundamenta filosóficamente una democracia política y puede precisar los elementos básicos necesarios para la construcción de una ética universal.
