Creative Ethics. From the Dissent of Science to Anthropo_Ethical Pluralism The techno-scientific accelerations have forced moral philosophy out of a certain self-referentiality and to face concrete problems concerning the life of men. Some factual questions of a bioethical nature (think of the redefinition of life or death) have required as many concrete solutions as possible. These solutions, of course, had to be guided and guided by general principles. And the general principles, in turn, had to be applied in various situations. On the one hand, the general ethics with its principles and on the other, the applied ethics called to face the dilemmas emerging from the technological advance. Beyond the methodological criticalities deriving from the application of the general principles in specific situations and fields, the "general" ethics remains the sub-stale (the substance) of the applied variants, avoiding that the latter is increasingly directed at endorsing the prevailing model of liberalism, which in practice moves along the line of authorisation of all that is chosen autonomously and consciously, with the only limitation dictated by the possibility of insult and fraud.
