Abstract

This article aims to study Boaventura de Sousa Santos’s and Joaquín Herrera Flores possible solutions for the confront between  universalism and relativism  towards the human rights vision. In the methodology,  the bibliographical analyses will be employed. Firstly, the definition of worldview was searched, getting universalism and relativism doctrines apart, pointing their fundamental caractherisctics. In addition, it was exposed the classical worldviews’ insufficiency, by showing the common critiques that they receive, including critics made by the two authors studied. Further, the multiculturalism was stated as a new worldview, searching its possible meanings and adopting the progressive or emancipatory multiculturalism perspective, going deeper into Boaventura’ and Herrera Flores’ theories, aiming to stablish the differences and similitudes between them. Finally, the final considerations inquire if the multiculturalism or the interculturalism is, in fact, a worldview which is capable of solving the classical conflict between universalism and relativism.
