Hacia la tolerancia activa, una aproximación a la sociedad abierta desde el racionalismo crítico.

Abstract

Intolerance based on dogmatisms and apologies of totalitarianism - enemies all of an open society - generates extreme violence in some Latin American regions where human life is not respected. Obvious deficiencies in some cultural dimensions of Latin America, such as 2 poor public and private education where we can find passionate defenses of superstitions among traditional panegyric of absolutist thought, are opposed to open society. This lack of education that shapes our society manifests itself among other problems in the armed conflict in Colombia, not only in armed groups conflicts but also in intolerant and aggressive civilian conflicts. Backed by data from different reports compiled in the last decade, I will affirm in the present article that said traditional systematic violence in Colombia besieges our cultural development and annihilates us at every step we take every day walking amid customary and fatal interpersonal aggressions. Systematic violence - a method of domination used by some Latin American governments as is the case of colombian - is the method that some citizens also use to resolve their daily conflicts in the likeness of our rulers. Within the framework of a patent socio-economic inequity, misery and extreme poverty, political systems want to maintain the status quo and preserve an order that, although unfair, has become the norm in these lands. Will the Popperian epistemological method applied to the social sciences help to overcome the obstacles of a closed society? Certainly, the forced submission of the masses is an archaic and obsolete method. We must think of a new Humanism for the future with the forces of falsifiable epistemology contextualized in Latin American politics; in this case, support in the interpretation made by the Argentine philosopher Gabriel Zanotti of Popperian thought, who evidences the problem of intolerance and helps to give philosophical support to life in active tolerance.
