Applied ethics, from deduction to Hermeneutic critical

Abstract

The method of applied ethics as critical hermeneutics in the daily human activities has been under development at the Escuela de Valencia, which is also the name of the group dedicated to Ethics research at the Universidad de Valencia, Spain. In this article, we will find some references and fundamentals regarding Ethics and their application, as well as considerations that will need to serve as reference in order to create a pertinent framework for analysis. Subsequently, we will identify some of the previous models that have functioned as points of reference for the Applied
Ethics proposal presented in this article. This model is the result of an ongoing evolution of deductive, inductive and dialogical models, which help us delve in the
applied spin of Ethics, but which are not always enough given the need of reinterpretation
in a specific situation. Thus, hermeneutics from a critical perspective become the mechanism that helps us approach a more complete model.
