FRANCO, Monique; OLIVEIRA, Renato José de e CANEN, Ana. Ethics, multiculturalism and education: any possible links?. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2000, n.13, pp.113-126. ISSN 1413-2478.
The need for taking into account cultural diversity into educational discourses and practices has been raising ethical challenges concerning limits for accepting ethnocentric, racist or other cultural views which · exhort violence against the other. The present paper argues that a concept of "a posteriori ethical universalism may contribute towards critical, intercultural educational practices, which refuse to abandon an ethical horizon in the formation of subjectivities. In order lo develop the argument, it critically analyses the debate between universalism and relativism, problematising its radical twist and presenting dimensions and alternatives to work multiculturalism and education, in the light of the proposed concept of ethics.
