A MORAL E A POLÍTICA SOB A ÉGIDE DA NATUREZA OU NOS ANTÍPODAS DO UNIVERSAL

This paper seeks to problematize the way in which moral and politics are constituted, as substantiated by H. Bergson in his last work: ‘The two sources of morality and religion.’. The aim is to understand that these two dimensions of human life, at least while considered as current trends, have their roots deep within our nature, and this is something which elevates the purpose of species conservation to the condition of ultimate goal of our existence.  This way, the objective of this paper is to question if, even with the modernisation of the natural virtualities which make up the presence of mankind in the world, neither morality conduct nor political actions end up acting in opposition to some of the ideals that are now established on the thresholds of modernity – which also, under certain perspectives, still flourish within the contemporary imaginarium - knowingly: the expectation of some kind of civilising progress paced by universal emancipation and a backward flowing of violence.
