Lipovetsky e a hipermodernidade: dilemas e perspectivas para a moderna noção de sujeito e a ética

Abstract

Giles Lipovestky's arguments about the contemporary era and its implications, extended to an analysis on moral issues, are the main approaches of this work. We live in a context where the roots of postmodern moral problems are fragmentary. Assuming an optimistic stance on this new scenario, Lipovetksy in turn presents the ethics of post-duty, an approach criticized by Bauman. This dissertation presents a comparison between these two positions, indicating possible similarities and contrasts between them.
