The new type of society that postmodernism brings has at its base not only a new conception of the human being, but also on its ethical condition. To avoid any conflict between ethical absolutism and relativism and also to avoid falling into a nonfunctional ethical relativism, postmodern thinking brings a complex construction of plural ethical options. We use the concepts of communication ethics, relational ethics, interpretation ethics, responsibility ethics, dissemination ethics, and authenticity ethics with the purpose to establish a few landmarks in configuring the ethical attitude of the postmodern man. The construction of postmodern ethical relativism under the sign of a relational ethics opens the ethical practices towards a building of a reality defined by personal instances that relate to the imagined community and an imagined horizon. The purpose of all these is to accomplish the good life as an authentic existence.
