Entre la dinámica del reconocimiento y la civilización de la pobreza: un diálogo entre Raúl Fornet Betancourt e Ignacio Ellacuría

This article aims, on the one hand, to examine the problematization of recognition and its constitutive dynamics from the perspective of intercultural philosophy. To this end, it analyzes the implications of recognition and the elements involved in its exercise, according to Fornet Betancourt’s proposal, in order to clarify how this concept-experience is understood and lived in everyday life. In a second moment, two key concepts from Ignacio Ellacuria’s thought —the historical praxis of liberation and the civilization of poverty —are explored as spaces in which the constitutive elements of recognition, as proposed by Fornet-Betancourt, come into play. The aim of this analysis is to open a space for dialogue between these two fundamental thinkers of contemporary Latin American philosophy.
