GARRAFA, Volnei; CUNHA, Thiago Rocha da and MANCHOLA-CASTILLO, Camilo. The teaching of global ethics: A theoretical proposal based on Intervention Bioethics. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190029. Epub Jan 17, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190029.
The article approaches global ethics in its applied perspective, targeted at educational practice, aiming to analyze, based on a theoretical investigation supported by the field of Bioethics, legitimacy for the definition of global goals to its teaching. Understanding that knowledge production is related to the geopolitical locus from which it develops, the study uses the framework of Intervention Bioethics, a theoretical approach identified with the critical thought of the “global south”, to analyze the possibility of defining universal ethical consensuses. It proposes two categories to be considered in programs for the teaching of global ethics: moral imperialism and the coloniality of life. In conclusion, the study defends a critical axiological presupposition – based on the universality of the body – from which common objectives for global ethics teaching programs can be defined.
