CONTEMPORARY ETHICS I. The crisis of modern Ethics
In this video about the crisis of modern ethics, we explore the main arguments of philosopher Victoria Camps in the "Presentation" of the book she edited: Conceptions of Ethics. There, she states that moral philosophy from the 19th century to the present can be divided into two main sections, from which it is possible to understand what is happening today. The first addresses "the crisis of modern ethics," and the second, "the contemporary reconstruction of ethics and the return to Kant."
Thus, the main moments of the contemporary critique of modern ethics are:

03:27 The "Masters of Suspicion": Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud
