The philosophical Thought of Javier Muguerza

Following a biographical-intellectual sketch (1), the early works of Javier Muguerza and their criticism of the analytic conception of philosophy are considered (2 and 3) in order, according to his increasingly Kantian tendencies, to analyze the relationship between ethics, hope, and utopia (4), the tensions between autonomy and the universality of ethical principles, and, along the lines of the criticism of discursive ethics, his commitment to ethical individualism, dissent, and cosmopolitanism, as a mediator be tween communitarianism and universalism (5). Then, the problem of the foundation of Ethics will be examined (6), as well as his writings on the Philosophy of Religion (7), ending with some brief concluding reflections.
