| Summary: |
A scientific thought about the Colombian
internal war took a long time to appear.
However, since the nineties, accurate studies
written by Colombian and Foreign investigators
began to be released. They share the
fact that they develop their reflections upon
a resolute liberal philosophical infrastructure, not
without nuances from one to another. Their
pace is as well analytical and synthetic as it
is normative insofar that they articulate with
prudence the examination of the events, of
their transformations, with the formulation
of a political and moral judgement, that
places further apart the ideological temptation.
Thus, they could avoid the myths,
particularly those related to the revolution.
These studies could also pave way for a clear
distinction between the action and the comprehension
to the benefit of the latter: the illegal
violence of direct action becomes a subject
matter and is no more a medium transformed
into an end. This evolution presupposes an
appreciation of the inedited and the permanence
of a history altered by the homogenisation
of its development and by fatalism that impedes
the intellection of the nuances. Then,
the Colombian �civilist� tradition is also
emphasized, which constitutes a fundamental
aspect of the Colombian political culture that
counterbalances the idea of violence inherent
to the Colombian being and that leaves open
the intellectual and practical possibility of an
exit from the armed conflict by the establishment
of confidence. |
