El estado laico y Occidente

The secular state and the West
[journal article]

Blancarte Pimentel, Roberto

Abstract

¿A qué se refieren por Occidente sus detractores? ¿Cómo lo concebimos nosotros mismos? ¿Cuáles son sus valores e instituciones centrales? ¿Cómo entendemos la expansión de esos valores e instituciones y su relación con otras culturas? ¿Son la secularización y la laicidad de las instituciones política... view more

¿A qué se refieren por Occidente sus detractores? ¿Cómo lo concebimos nosotros mismos? ¿Cuáles son sus valores e instituciones centrales? ¿Cómo entendemos la expansión de esos valores e instituciones y su relación con otras culturas? ¿Son la secularización y la laicidad de las instituciones políticas un elemento central y específico de nuestra cultura? ¿Son parte integrante de lo que algunos grupos consideran la agresión de Occidente hacia sus sociedades? ¿Es compatible la secularización de la sociedad y la laicización de las instituciones políticas, del Estado o de la esfera pública, con otras culturas? Más allá de las implicaciones en materia de violencia o, eventualmente, de estrategia militar, es evidente que las respuestas que se den a estos interrogantes tienen múltiples consecuencias sobre la estabilidad social, la seguridad, las migraciones, las libertades, las concepciones de vida y sobre todo, sobre las formas de convivencia social.

What do detractors of the West mean by that? How do we concieve it? Which are its main values and institutions? How do we understand the expansion of Western values and institutions and their relationship to other cultures? Are secularization and laicism of political institutions a central and specific element of our culture? Are they an integral component of what some groups consider the Western aggression towards their societies? Are the secularization of society and the laicization of political institutions, of the State or the public sphere compatible with other cultures? Beyond implications regarding violence or, on occasion, military strategy, it is evident that answers to these queries carry multiple consequences over social stability, safety, migrations, freedoms, life-views and, above all, the forms of social coexistence. Thus, we must make a halt to learn who we are vis-à-vis ourselves and others. This article poses a possible response to these questions.... view less
