L'homme en contexte - essai de philosophie morale
Mark Hunyadi - Collection Humanités
Résumé
--
From the cradle to the grave we are immersed in our context, yet context has been forgotten by moral theories. Yet contextuality is our prime condition: we necessarily inhabit matter that shapes our relation with the world, others and ourselves. So is it reasonable to place this original contextuality 'off course' as philosophy has done until now? Doesn't contextuality oblige us, on the contrary, to take moral experience, as it is lived by those who have always been immersed in a context - as a starting point for reflection? Isn't the fact of ignoring context, from Plato to Habernas, also fundamentally ignoring moral experience, as it is lived by the subjects themselves? This essay establishes the philosophical principles of morals that hold firmly to the subject's point of view, from A to Z. It is an original and daring challenge, precisely because the great traditional moral theories are all established from the philosopher's viewpoint, the philosopher who then has the job of making the moral viewpoint he has defined correspond to people's behaviour. But there is an impassable gap between the two. As soon as moral theory is connected to the moral experience of subjects, to their context, it is profoundly modified. Mark Hunyadi explores this basic fact, so pregnant with meaning yet systematically obscured, showing how context gradually opens up to the subjects - revealing, at each stage, the powerful critical resources it holds. For subjects are not only immersed in their context: it is not simply a pole of confidence it can also become an object placed at a distance, a correlation of their reflection and criticism. Context gives everything, including the power to criticize. So context can become a critical resource even for those who are immersed in it - there is a lesson that surprises us, worn down as we are by 2500 years of Plato-Kantism, i.e. of ethical purification seeking to preserve itself from all contamination by context.
