Reassessing the Clash Between Isaiah Berlin’s Value Pluralism and Ronald Dworkin’s Monism
View through CrossRef
ResumoEste artigo reexamina o debate entre o pluralismo de valores de Isaiah Berlin (PV) e o monismo de RonaldDworkin, sua “unidade do valor” (UV). Em primeiro lugar, o debate entre ambos é reconstruído por meiode duas proposições: de acordo com a proposição descritiva p, “é possível integrar nossos valores em umtodo coerente”; de acordo com a proposição normativa Pn, “a melhor interpretação de nossos valoresmostra que eles estão integrados em um todo coerente”. Enquanto PV nega ambas, UV as afirma. Feitoisso, apresentam-se os argumentos de Dworkin em defesa de sua tese (assim como as críticas que faz aopluralismo de Berlin), seguidos de uma resposta pluralista. Por fim, examina-se a tentativa de Dworkin derecolocar o debate no plano meta-ético, julgando-a inadequada: o pluralismo berliniano não se encaixanos rótulos de “ceticismo interno” e “externo” que Dworkin tenta lhe imputar.AbstractThis article revisits and reassess the debate between Isaiah Berlin’s value pluralism (VP) and Ronald Dworkin’s monism, his “unity of value” (UV). First of all, the debate is reconstructed around two claims: according to the descriptive claim p, “it is possible to integrate our values in a coherent whole”; according to the normative claim Pn, “the best interpretation of our values shows them to be integrated in a coherent whole”. While VP denies both, UV asserts them. After that, Dworkin’s arguments in defense of his thesis (as well as his criticisms of Berlin’s pluralism) are presented, along with a pluralist response to them. Finally, Dworkin’s attempt to recast the debate in the meta-ethical level is assessed and deemed to be inadequate: Berlin’s value pluralism does not fit the labels of “internal” and “external skepticism” that Dworkin wants to associate with it.
