Abstract

GARCIA-GONZALEZ, Dora Elvira. Critical Reflections on Violence in Mexico from Injustice: Imaginatively Project to Build Peace. Eidos [online]. 2017, n.26, pp.149-177. ISSN 1692-8857.

Abstract This article proposes to reconsider the feasibility of overcoming violent situations. Situations in which reality imposes itself in an indefectible and aggressive manner and in which it is hard to generate spaces of justice, since in them, social inequality and marginalization prevail. The persistence of injustice is the breeding ground for violence. An explicit case of such conditions was the massacre of 43 students of the Rural Teachers' College in Ayotzinapa (Guerrero) on November 26, 2014. Under these circumstances, and, in order to formulate alternatives where peace becomes a viable horizon, this paper assumes the perspective about real injustice developed by Luis Villoro. Based on the recognition of this condition, the collective imagination of alternatives for overcoming violence and achieving peace becomes possible.

Keywords : injustice; violence; imagination; ethics; political philosophy; reality.
