          Abstract

          Este ensaio enfoca as vicissitudes da moralidade contemporânea a partir de um duple ponto de vista: seu questionamento radical devido à vigência do 'niilismo tecnocientífico, supostamente responsável por uma transformação inédita da condição humana, inclusive das suas referências valorativas a normativas; e a emergência da moral aplicada, conhecida como 'bioética', produto de unit concepção secular, pluralista e pós-universalista destas referências. Enfoca, em particular, a primeira fase da bioética, conhecida como 'fase dos pioneiros' e representada pela proposta de 'ética global' de V. R. Patter, que pretendia estabelecer novas relações entre fatos científicos e valores morais. Argumenta que esta visão 'global', aplicada à moralidade, vem sendo recuperada atualmente pelas concepções holistas, que pretendem estabelecer uma nova aliança entre ciência a transcendência.

          Translated abstract

          This essay addresses the vicissitudes of contemporary morality from a double perspective: on the one hand. a radical questioning grounded in the prevailing technoscientific nihilism. allegedly responsible for an unprecedented transformation in the human condition, including therein reference points regarding values and norms, and, on the other hand, the emergence of appIied morals, known as bioethics, which is the result of a secular, pluralitstic, and post-universalistic understanding of such reference points. Special focus is placed on the early phase of bioethics, known as the "pioneer phase", when V. R. Potter posited his "global ethics", meant to establish a new kind of relationship between scientific facts and moral values. The essay argues that holistic concepts that seek to establish a new alliance between science and transcendence are currently being revived by this global viewpoint, applied to morality.
