Fichte, is linked to the name of Hegel in a particular way: all his work, from his early writings to the definitive presentation of the system in the Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences, passing through the articles, texts, and sketches of the Jena system, through the Phenomenology of Spirit and even through some passages of the Science of Logic, can be read from this register. The strong thesis of the concept of recognition is, basically, that one cannot think identity without difference, selfhood without otherness or the self without the other. This article does not elaborate the concept in Hegel's work in general, but in the Phenomenology of Spirit in particular; there the starting point is to say that the individual creates his identity in the recognition of the other, but what is interesting is that this concept, as Hegel elaborates it in the Phenomenology, appears linked to an analysis of forgiveness; in recognition and forgiveness reconciliation remains as something pending, and it is interesting to emphasize the contingency and open processuality in which they must be seen. At the end of the analysis of forgiveness and recognition, a kind of structure is gained that transcends any concrete community. There Hegel does not end up pointing out another historical community, but rather the community in its absolute form. This article maintains that reason comes into existence in the experiences of recognition and forgiveness when we realize that we are nothing substantial, but pure change and opposition, that is, when we see that in our aspiration for the universal we remain in the particular, but also that in our particularity is the universal. The last part of the article returns to the results achieved and elaborates from there some perspectives for the analysis of peace in Colombia.
