Purpose/Background.

Discuss the interpersonal component of the personal condition, showing how recognition attitudes determine the social inclusion of people with disabilities.

Methodology/Approach.

A theoretical analysis was carried out on the interpersonal component of the human person, based on the argument of the inclusion of people with disabilities and its relevance for full citizen participation. The research is framed in the interpretive paradigm, with a qualitative nature, using as a technique the analysis of documents considered primary sources. Likewise, the theoretical approach of Paul Ricoeur regarding the forms of human recognition and the three basic forms of interpersonal recognition proposed by Axel Honneth were assumed.

Results/Findings.

The interpersonal dimension is an important foundation of existence as a human community. The basic forms of recognition are reciprocal and, therefore, not unidirectional and coincide with being respected, loved, and valued for our contribution to the community. Living with people who do not have attitudes of recognition towards you is a reality with which people with disabilities are familiar.

Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions.

To fully include people with disabilities, in addition to considering the modality of institutional and technical participation, it must consider the interpersonal dimension.
