The Philosophical Statute of Developmental Ethics in Denis Goulet"™s Thought

Abstract

This article has the aim to become known Denis Goulet"™s figure and thinking because he is considered the pioneer of development ethics. In particular, it addresses the method proposed by Goulet for development ethics and the foundation of this ethics. These issues are interpreted from the levels of ethical discourse. The proposal is if he employs induction as a method and rejects deduction as such, it can maintain that he employs a hybrid methodology including both an inductive perspective and deductive one. The same levels of ethical discourse allow maintaining that foundation of this ethics has a metaphysic base.
