This paper aims to analyze how is approached the question of moral on international politics. We search within political philosophy a debate which could be absorbed on International Relations, taking Kant and Nietzsche as the main thinkers in what means normativity possibilities based upon moral principles. The antagonism among Kant and Nietzsche shows the dilemmas that moral subjects brings to international theorization. This is a phenomenon seen since the first debate within International Relations Theory, and until today promote discussions about how moral questions can be taken into international politics. Throughout, we assume a position that, based on Critical Theory, considers a normative necessity to work with an immanent critic of moral within International Relations.
