Introduction

Ethics is a philosophical discipline, which involves the examination and justification of the principles governing the set of norms and attitudes prevalent in society. Of course that justification can be extra-moral, but what matters is to have a rational discussion and explanation of ideas or rules adopted.

On a more intimate, suggests a critical torn open on the reiteration in the women's movement experiences that we thought exorcise awarded to patriarchy: experiences of exploitation, silencing, lack of solidarity, betrayal of the covenants, use arbitrary and oppressive power, ignorance of the legitimate modes of representation. In a more global level, finally, ethical and feminism suggest the revision of the foundations of the democratic system if women (and I mean when I say women involved, i.e. feminists) do not participate in the moral debate ...
