PULECIO PULGARIN, Jairo Mauricio. PHILOSOPHY AND SEXUAL DIVERSITY: CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERPRETATE THE COLOMBIAN CONSTITUTION FROM GENDER PERSPECTIVE. Vniversitas [online]. 2009, n.119, pp.161-187. ISSN 0041-9060.

This article is a reflection of notions like sex, gender and moral over many philosophical ways of thinking: from John Dewey's pragmatism through Rorty's contemporary, passing by the theory of moral sense, the poststructuralism, among others. This also is an attempt to give judge elements in order to coordinate the constitutional interpretation of the equality right around sexual diversity made for the Constitutional Colombian Court with the enquiries advances succeeded in the national and international academic scope. First of all, there will be a conceptual tour down many philosophical slopes, and after that It will be a critic of the substantiated notions of the truth of sex and an exemplification of the latent possibility of sexual subversion in the case of transgender. Second chapter rescues elements of the moral sense and pragmatist's ethics, face to the way of the direction gave to the gender problematic. The last one it will be a parallel between conceptual frameworks treated and the interpretive debate raised inside the colombian legal system. In the last reflection it will be a nesting of all the inputs across the Dewey's theoric shaft, and provide some tools to deal with the theoric conflicts which emerge from the fights for the recognition of the sexual diversity.

Keywords : Sex; gender; equality right; Colombia; moral sense; pragmatist; post-structuralism.
