Abstract

The article proposes a reformulation of the wide reflective equilibrium, originally conceived by John Rawls and later evoked by ethicists and theorists of Bioethics, Neuroethics and, more recently, the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, aiming at the promotion of an intersectional egalitarianism (socioeconomic, gender, racial-ethnic, environmental) through digital inclusion. It is argued that only from a decolonial perspective of critical theory, combined with an ecofeminist vision of sustainability, can one resort to reflective equilibrium to remedy the so-called phenomenological deficit of normative and naturalist theories, thereby avoiding the normativism of principlist models and the reductionism of eliminativist and physicalist models.
