Sumario: 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.
