Abstract

MARQUISIO AGUIRRE, Ricardo. The Ideal of Moral Autonomy. Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2017, n.43, pp.53-95. ISSN 0797-8316.  https://doi.org/10.22187/rfd2017n2a4.

Some elements of the ideal of moral autonomy are discussed in this paper. Such ideal is a key assumption in social practices focused on normative imputation, particularly morality and law. First, a constructivist conception of normativity is introduced, taking reasons as an essential and non-reducible element, and focused on the conceptual features of moral reasons within the normative domain. Then, an idea of moral autonomy based on the self-constitution is developed including three key features: the possibility of responding to reasons based on shared social expectations; the responsibility for certain scope of actions, according to a set of reasons available to the individual and to their maximum extent of expansion; and the need to preserve autonomy as a purpose unifying the set of autonomous actions of moral agents.

Keywords : Moral autonomy; moral reasons; morality and law,constructivism.
