COHEN, Claudio; GOBBETTI, Gisele  and  OLIVEIRA, Reinaldo Ayer de. Brief speech on ethics, moral aesthetics and bioethics relationship. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.2, pp. 41-57. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper aims at reviewing the concepts of ethics, moral and aesthetics and articulating them with the principles of bioethics relationship which inherently carry psychoanalytic principles. Human beings build moral values within socialization process. Aesthetics as a feeling quality, proposed by Freud, does not go through reason. Aesthetic senses are what enables reading the external world and moral or cultural values. While "moral comes from outside, ethics comes from the inside", thus it is possible to differentiate the concepts, respectively, as functions of superego and ego. An ethical way of dealing with conflicts of human relationships will happen with an agreement between individual autonomy and social responsibility. The maxim of bioethics relationship is "responsible autonomy". The ethical thought is the conciliation between internalized moral values and the feelings generated by the individual perception about reality within human relationships. Thereby, it is possible to state that ethics is the moral aesthetics.

Keywords : ethics; moral; aesthetics; psychoanalysis; bioethics relationship.
