A hermenêutica dos direitos humanos e a diversidade cultural

Abstract

This paper assumes that human rights not yet acquired the desired universality, being necessary for both the meeting arrangements that make possible a global protection of the right to liberty, equality and fraternity expressed in legal texts as the Universal Declaration of Human humans. To do so presents an analysis of the context in which it appears the search for a code of standards valid worldwide and, with the overall context, emphasizes the prevailing multiculturalism, which is taken as the main factor to be taken into account in implementing this project. Given this reality are two proposals: the hermeneutics of analog-iconic Mauricio Beuchot criticism and hermeneutics Joaquín Herrera Flores, both committed to respecting the dignity and human diversity. The way ideas are developed that shows the meeting points are identified with the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer, as well as the thinking of many scholars of human rights in multicultural contexts. Such coincidences suggest the existence of a new trend hermeneutics grounded in consideration of tradition and historicity of the subject, upon redemption of Aristotelian ethics and practice of dialogue, which reveals in its structure an operation that resembles the game that involves the hermeneutic Gadamer's philosophical, understanding that grasps the truth of the artwork.
