This paper, based on the diagnosis of Modernity undertaken by Alasdair MacIntyre, intends to evaluate the possibility of reconciling the universalizing discourse of human rights with the particularist ethics supported by the cited author from the point of view of an Aristotelian Ethics. The convergence between individual goods, embodied in rights, and the common good, an essential component of ethical practice and thought may represent a relevant theoretical contribution in the field of human rights studies. In this work, given the limitation of its nature, we attempted to analyze three intrinsic problems in the conception of rights, according to the perspective of MacIntyre: a) the idea that subjects of rights are autonomous and fully independent moral individuals; b) the separation of the individual good from the common good; c) the deflation of practical community reasoning, in relation to individual rationality. This work resulted in an analytical exposition of the points of contrast between the human rights perspective and ethics as understood by MacIntyre, to prepare ways of possible convergence between them. ; Esta investigación, basada en el diagnóstico de la modernidad realizado por Alasdair MacIntyre, pretende evaluar la posibilidad de reconciliación entre el discurso universalizador de los derechos humanos y la ética particularista sostenida por el autor a partir de la ética aristotélica.
