En el presente artículo, la pregunta por la posibilidad de construir una cultura de paz se aborda desde la convicción de que la paz hunde sus raíces en la geografía emocional de cada persona, de manera que es preciso comprender tanto cuáles son las fuerzas internas que han conducido a las múltiples formas de violencia en la vida cotidiana como los recursos con que contamos para contrarrestar sus efectos en las narrativas personales y políticas. Exploro en particular dos emociones: la ira y la compasión como su mejor antídoto. Comprender la peculiar estructura cognitiva de cada una, permite evaluar su papel normativo y sobre todo destacar cómo, según Nussbaum y Thich Naht Hanh, hay una suerte de transición natural de la primera hacia la segunda, dispositivo privilegiado hacia una comunidad política justa y democrática. 2019-06-24 2019-09-19T21:13:51Z 2019-09-19T21:13:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/cpaz/article/view/14581 10.14483/2422278X.14581 http://hdl.handle.net/11349/17632 spa https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/cpaz/article/view/14581/14858 Derechos de autor 2019 Ciudad Paz-ando https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas Ciudad Paz-Ando; Vol 12 No 1 (2019): enero-junio.

In this paper, the approach to the building of a culture of peace is based on the belief that peace has its roots in the emotional geography of each individual. Accordingly, we need to fully understand both the internal forces leading to the multiple forms of violence in daily life and the resources we have to counteract their effect in personal and political narratives. I explore particularly two emotions: anger, and compassion as its best antidote. Understanding the cognitive structure of each of these two emotions, makes it possible to evaluate their normative role and mainly to stress how, according to Nussbaum and Thich Naht Hahn, there is a sort of natural transition from anger towards compassion, movement that becomes a privileged device in the direction to a just and democratic society. |
