Abstract

SCHERBOSKY, Federica. RECOGNITION, TOLERANCE, HOSPITALITY: TENSION ABOUT INEQUALITY. Univ. philos. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.68, pp.219-242. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph34-68.trhd.

In this work we analyze the category of recognition proposed by Raul Fornet-Betancourt. We introduce a history of this category that the author makes and from which he indicates how “recognition” supposes situations of inequality, both political, legal and economical. For this reason the author proposes an abandon of this category and go over to “tolerance”, as love to the neighbor or the other. We propose a reconsideration of “recognition”, cause we support it could be thought from diversity and not only from inequality. Even in the same Fornet-Betancourt's Intercultural Philosophy, there are elements that attend specifically to diversity and cause of that we try to rehabilitate “recognition”. We work also Arturo Roig’s contributions since it takes “recognition” from other theoretical perspectives and allows us to think a legitimate recognition from the autorecognition.

Keywords : recognition; tolerance; inequality; diversity; hospitality.
