Abstract

Inspired by an autoreflexive-therapeutic approach, this study proposes the idea of culture of recognition as an axiological principle of human securitization. In this context, the culture of recognition might become a therapy of human securitization, by cultivating the comprehensive attitude with the help of the philosophical conscience and political reasonableness. Three general theses determine this study. The first thesis, an ontological-anthropological one, states that the-human-mode-of-being predisposed to recognitive and securing behavior is that of assumed fallibility. The second thesis maintains, for cultural and epistemological reasons, that the trans-modern spirit favors the culture of recognition because of its comprehensive and recognitive potential. The third thesis, a praxeological corollary of the previous ones, states that securitizing the human through the culture of recognition becomes socially possible in a climate of political reasonableness. The three theses can be operationalized by three hypotheses, as follows: the first hypothesis identifies the hypostasis of comprehensive being as a state of wakefulness through which the human capacity of understanding becomes more embracing, more profound, and more participative. The second hypothesis sets out to elaborate an epistemological model of the comprehensive being capable of the culture of recognition, by valorizing acquisitions in the philosophy of conscience and cognitive sciences. The third hypothesis advances the model of the politics with the human face as an expression of the comprehensive being in action
