Abstract
[Resumen] El “Principialismo”, la comprensión de la bioética propuesta por Tom Beauchamp y James Childress en su obra Principles of Biomedical Ethics, es presentado por sus autores como una guía para la práctica de la ética biomédica fruto de la determinación de cuatro principios morales básicos que forman parte de la commom morality o moral común, entendida, a su vez, como el conjunto de creencias morales universalmente compartidas. A pesar de lo atractivo de la propuesta, se le pueden plantear objeciones. Este trabajo tiene por objeto presentar la siguiente cuestión: ¿qué autoridad confiere la moral común al Principialismo? Porque, si el Principialismo no pretende el respaldo de la autoridad de la moral común, ¿cuál es, entonces, su aportación a la bioética?

In spite of the appeal of the proposal, some objections can be made. This paper seeks to introduce the following question: what authority does the common morality confer to Principlism? Because, if Principlism does not pretend the background of the authority of the common morality, in what way does Principlism contribute to Bioethics?
