Summary: In this article, a journey is made of the struggle for the recognition of the Other in the discourse of the Colombian constitutions, in a historical stage characterized by the direct conceptual capture of the State, which is derived in the constitutional devices and other materials of the ordering Legal functions from the logic of exclusion. Thus, this construction process also had structuring elements such as inferiorization, invisibility, reification and instrumentalization. However, starting in 1991 with the project of an open and pluralistic society, the construction of a new Other was undertaken, at least formally, from solidarity, human dignity and responsibility. But from that moment on, this constitutional ideal has faced the disagreements, tensions and contradictions against the political patterns that had been already installed in the social system since the previous constitutional regime. Given this context, the challenge of the philosophy of responsibility of Emmanuel Levinas can mark an ethical horizon that serves to deconstruct the diverse expressions of the logic of exclusion and the instruments that are continuously reproduced in collective imaginaries.
