DELGADO LOMBANA, César Augusto. Between strangeness and familiarity. On the notion of friendship according to Gadamer's hermeneutics. Folios [online]. 2013, n.38, pp.1-12. ISSN 0123-4870.

This article seeks to explain how, in Gadamer's hermeneutics, a conception of recognition establishes itself. This can be addressed in terms of the horizon of friendship, which is understood as a field of experience of the radical otherness of the other. The text is divided in four parts: in the first part, light will be shed on the notion of friendship according to the Greek perspective, which conceives of it as being at home. In the second part, the conception of friendship worked on by Gadamer in the 1990s will be traced, with the intention of accounting for the ontological correlative which links otherness with the experience of friendship guided by the principle of good will. In the third part, the idea of strangeness as an indication of the demand for recognition will be dealt with. Finally, it will be proposed that strangeness opens up the Gadamerian perspective about friendship, viewed from the emergence of horizons to the conception of the shattering of horizons.

Palabras clave : friendship; strangeness; difference; recognition.
