The Post-modern condition has radically changed the approach of philosophers towards the fundamental principles of philosophical knowledge construction. Definitely, in the postmodern philosophical literature there is generally accepted the idea that the modern world is characterized by the crisis of values that was formed as early as during the epoch of Enlightening. A person even then does not have enough time to follow rationally the frequent succession of the social environment changes and, in a greater degree, feels an abeyance in evaluation of surrounding society and the method of actions relevant to it. However, estimating postmodernism, authors acknowledge it one of the new perspective stages in philosophy development where there are the matized the newest phenomena and made the attempts of overcoming metaphysics in content but not by its merely denial. The positive value of postmodernism, especially of its deconstruction stage, point out at its "loosening" and further breaking of progressism inertia and setting the question on the new paradigm of thinking. Authors refer to books by Z. Bauman, К.-О. Аpel, French researchers of postmodernism, while analyzing their attempts of overcoming the negativist conclusions in moral sense. In particular, К.-О. Аpel communicates the decision of ethical problems in to the communicative-pragmatic domain. According to his point of view, rightness and universality of moral norms can be determined through the measure of them providing consensus in practical discourse. Such discourse is reviewed by Аpel as a factor of transition from conventional (traditional) to the postconventional moral. As it is stated in the research, Аpel, as the founder of one of postmodernism ethic philosophy versions, demonstrates substantial innovations in investigation of moral, re-orienteering from semantic and structuralism' methods to socially-philosophical, ethical and juridical communicative practices.5481 Product Description popup.authors Йосипенко О.М.
