FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO, PERFETTO. Trovare una giustificazione razionale dei criteri per la valutazione morale delle istituzioni, delle regole e delle scelte collettive, ovvero della politica, è da sempre il fine che guida la ricerca della filosofi a politica. Ragionare, però, sui valori che caratterizzano la nostra convivenza civile e sui modelli alternativi di società giusta è un compito tanto necessario quanto complesso in un’epoca come quella contemporanea, caratterizzata intrinsecamente da un pluralismo della nostra versione morale del mondo. Accettare una tale varietà significa rassegnarsi al relativismo e all’incompiutezza? È ancora possibile stabilire ordinamenti fra valori? Etica e politica è un tentativo filosofico che vuole dimostrare come l’idea di una versione morale e normativa del politico e sociale sia possibile a partire da un pluralismo descrittivo e normativo.
