ABSTRACT

In this article, I intend to examine critically whether there is the criterion to discern between right and wrong that we come to understand mutually and reach an consensus or not, and how it can be secured if there is. Through such an examination work, I tries to argue that the universal standard to judge the right and wrong in the normative dimension completely can be secured in the source of morality, that is ‘the right.’ Especially I will reveal the fact clearly that in the case of ‘the right’, only on the basis of ‘the Habermasian right’ is possible the universal normative judgement, while being based on ‘the Kantian right’ several different moral judgements are possible depending on the certain situations and contexts.
