Raimond Gaita e a compreensão da moralidade a partir do reconhecimento da realidade do outro
In: Griot: Revista de Filosofia, Volume 17, Issue 1, p. 12-21
This paper explores the role that the recognition of the other plays for morality in Raimond Gaita's Good and Evil: An Absolute Conception, from the centrality of the notion of remorse, understood as the remembrance of moral meaning for the agent of what he did. The examples from which Gaita intends to emphasize the weight of morality and the meaning of doing evil morally for someone will be rescued. One can not understand, according to the philosopher, a situation as morally problematic if it is not intelligible that whoever realized it should feel a genuine remorse in the face of the evil generated by their actions.
