CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT<br />

OF POSTMODERNISM?: A READING OF ZYGMUNT BAUMAN’S<br />

POSTMODERN ETHICS IN THE LIGHT OF FIDES ET RATIO<br />

Taking up the invitation of Fides et ratio to attend seriously to<br />

postmodernity as a cultural phenomenon, this article focuses on the<br />

work of the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman as an example of this line of<br />

thought. Bauman is one of the few who have attempted to tease out the<br />

implications of postmodernity for ethics. The article compares his findings<br />

with the official Catholic position as articulated in Fides et ratio.<br />

While the clash between the positions is clear and sharp, it also proves<br />

to be potentially informative and instructive.<br />

Respondiendo a la invitación de la Fides et ratio a tomar en serio<br />

la posmodernidad como fenómeno cultural, el artículo estudia la obra<br />

del sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman como un ejemplo de esta línea de pensamiento.<br />

Bauman es uno de los pocos autores que intentó extraer las<br />

implicaciones de la posmodernidad en el ámbito de la ética. El artículo<br />

relaciona sus conclusiones con la posición oficial católica expresada<br />

en la Fides et ratio. El contraste entre las posiciones es claro y neto,<br />

pero no deja de ser también potencialmente informativo e instructivo.
