Publisher Description

Moral and political theorists like Will Kymlicka have attempted to frame moral justifications for Aboriginal rights in ways that fit with the principles of liberalism. By contrast, the Supreme Court of Canada has repeatedly invited consideration of "Aboriginal perspectives" in its case law on Aboriginal rights. How to approach Aboriginal rights issues is an immensely important question given the range of identifiable cultural gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal understandings of relevant matters. The author seeks to forward the enterprise of a theory of normative discourse for cross-cultural settings. He engages with and endeavours to build on Charles Taylor's account of "unforced consensus" on human rights issues in order to develop certain methodological claims concerning moral theorizing in a cross-cultural setting, attempting to draw some further distinctions to flesh out an approach to cross-cultural moral theory. The author goes on to argue that moral theorizing in the context of Aboriginal rights issues has failed to live up to appropriate methodological demands and that the conclusions of this paper have implications for a range of judicial and policy contexts. Des theoriciens de l'ethique et de la Science Politique, tel Will Kymlicka, ont tente de conceptualiser les justifications morales des droits des peuples autochtones, de maniere a ce que ceux-ci soient en accord avec les principes du liberalisme. A l'oppose, la Cour Supreme du Canada, dans sa jurisprudence ayant trait aux droits des peuples autochtones, a, a plusieurs reprises, exige d'accorder plus de consideration au point de vue des autochtones. La facon d'aborder la question des droits de ces peuples est d'une importance capitale vu l'ecart culturel notable qui separe les autochtones et les non autochtones quant a la comprehension de ces questions significatives. L'auteur s'investit dans la formulation d'une theorie du discours normatif dans un cadre interculturel. L'auteur ancre son questionnement sur les ecrits de Charles Taylor, concernant le consensus naturel sur la question des droits de l'homme, dans le but de developper et de batir certaines affirmations methodologiques quant a la theorisation normative dans un contexte interculturel, s'efforcant ainsi de dresser plus de distinctions visant a etoffer une theorie de l'ethique interculturelle. L'auteur soutient que la theorisation normative, dans le contexte des droits des peuples autochtones, a echouee car celle n'a pas pu adequatement repondre aux exigences methodologiques et maintient que les conclusions emanant de l'article ont une portee de grande envergure autant dans des contextes juridiques que politiques.
