De la Paz perpetua a la Paz imperfecta

Abstract

Philosophy is the daughter of her time, that is, she shares concerns and interests. Priorities that characterize each historical moment. In a way, you can say that philosophy "experiences trends or trends that are parallel to historical evolution, prioritizing in your subject of study that which most worries or worries the human being of that certain moment ”(Martínez, Comins, Paris, 2009: 92). Trend, fashion, novelty or whatever you want to rate, peace is the most necessary pressing today, both nationally and internationally, not only for States but for all human beings. In fact the academy, and with it the world intellectual, has not wanted to remain oblivious to this reality and it is for that reason that a great number of social scientists have focused their attention on contributing to the noblest of All human companies. In the midst of a world consumed by violence, war and terrorism, the philosophy tries to legitimize their work by collaborating through argumenta tive reflection to best possible functioning of individual and collective life. It is precisely in that sense that philosophy projected towards peace wants to approach reality to exercise its public commitment to the welfare of man. “The objective is that philosophy does not lose its horizon of significance for life, banalizing itself as a simple philosophy of literatos ”(Comins and Muñoz, 2013: 25). However, peace as a concept is used lightly and is usually related with demobilization and disarmament processes or with political agreements between states or groups subversive, which has led to consider it as an always distant longing, in many unreachable cases. When you think about peace you usually see it, or as an ideal, or as an inner personal experience, and therefore very rarely it is recognized as a process that although imperfect (unfinished) is present in the daily life of Multiple and diverse ways.
