Resumo: | The history involves diverse types of fundamentalism. This article highlights a variety of ethical fundamentalist thoughts that marked humanity and were challenged by thinkers and intellectuals. The fundamentalism originates in the interpretation of doctrines isolated from their historical context and without room for criticism. As understood in the entry in Voltaire´s Dictionnaire philosophique_(1752), fundamentalism is closely related to fanaticism. The practice of interpreting any one doctrine as containing a single fundamental truth can result in a type of blindness that impedes the ability to observe reality with a critical spirit. Certain modern thinkers generally associate fundamentalism with religion and hold it responsible for great human tragedy._ However, fundamentalism unrelated to religion was also spread and likewise caused insurmountable damage to human life. Fundamentalism is defined in the following terms: philosophical, scientific, totalitarian and economic. In as much as one tries to identify and denounce fundamentalism, it seems that it continues to appear in the course of human relations. Whenever critics stand against determined fanaticisms, others will arise to be denounced._ This discussion might be considered trivial if the current state of affairs did not threaten human life, and if predictions were favorable for the life of our species on this planet. |

A proposta desse artigo é destacar alguns fundamentalismos éticos que marcaram a humanidade e que foram questionados por pensadores e intelectuais. A origem do fundamentalismo se dá na forma como interpretamos as doutrinas sem levarmos em consideração o espírito histórico que as cerca, ou ainda as aceitamos sem nenhuma abertura para a crítica. O fundamentalismo tem muito haver com o fanatismo, na forma como o verbete do Dicionário Filosófico (1752) de Voltaire o entende. Ao enxergar determinada doutrina como único fundamento de verdade, o ser humano é levado a uma espécie de cegueira que o impede de observar a realidade com espírito crítico. Geralmente, associamos o fundamentalismo à religião seguindo a tradição de alguns pensadores modernos, por esta ser responsável por grandes desgraças na humanidade. Porém, outros fundamentalismos também foram disseminados à margem da religião, e que da mesma forma, causaram muitos estragos à vida humana. Foi assim que se descobriram os fundamentalismos: filosófico, científico, totalitário, econômico. Parece que por mais que tentemos identificar e denunciar esses fundamentalismos, outros mais surgem nas esteiras das relações humanas. Sempre que críticos se levantam para denunciar determinados fanatismos, outros mais fanatismos surgirão para serem combatidos. Tudo isso poderia ser banal se a vida humana não corresse nenhuma ameaça no atual estado das coisas, e se os prognósticos fossem favoráveis para a vida da nossa espécie no planeta.Aufklärung: Journal of Philosophy2014-03-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/arf/article/view/1850410.18012/arf.2016.18504Aufklärung; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2014): Revista Aufklärung. v. 1, n. 1 (2014), Janeiro-Junho; p.131-136Aufklärung: revista de filosofia; v. 1 n. 1 (2014): Revista Aufklärung. v. 1, n. 1 (2014), Janeiro-Junho; p.131-1362318-94282358-8470reponame:Aufklärung (João Pessoa.
