La fraternidad, un acontecimiento para el fiel diálogo intercultural

Abstract

This research seeks to answer the question: How can fraternity be declared as an event capable of sustaining a faithful, genuine, and transformative intercultural dialogue? Based on a documentary and hermeneutic-critical approach, it explores the philosophical foundations that make it possible to conceive fraternity not as a traditional moral or religious notion, but as an event that breaks into history and calls for fidelity. The study articulates Alain Badiou’s category of the event with Raúl Fornet-Betancourt’s concept of interculturality, establishing a dialogue between ontology and ethics through the lens of otherness. In this convergence, fraternity is declared as an evental truth that disrupts the logic of exclusion and proposes a new form of relationship among subjects and cultures. The work concludes that the event of fraternity is a practice of fidelity to the other and to difference, capable of transforming modes of coexistence and opening a horizon of shared meaning within human diversity.
