Abstract

MICHELINI, Dorando J.. Conflicts of values and conflicts of interest. The understanding of the conflict in the thinking of Julio De Zan. Tópicos [online]. 2019, n.37, suppl.1, pp.58-67. ISSN 1666-485X.

The article summarizes, in the first place, some key ideas of Discourse Ethics theory in relation to conflict resolution. It then presents Julio De Zan’s critical observations to Discourse Ethics in the sense that practical discourses would not be suitable for resolving conflicts of values, conflicts of interests and socio-political conflicts, as well as his proposal to complement Discourse Ethics with a hermeneutical contribution and a strategy of mutual cooperation for the solution of those conflicts that cannot be resolved through argumentative discourse. This strategy would not be aimed at reaching a consensus between the parties, but rather at achieving a reasonable and peaceful modus vivendi. The article closes with a critical weighting of Julio De Zan’s reflections and with the mention of some questions that arise from his proposal to complement the Discourse Ethics.

Keywords : conflict; Discourse Ethics; Julio De Zan; hermeneutics.
