Abstract
DELGADO LOMBANA, César Augusto. FRIENDSHIP AS AN EXPERIENCE OF ENCOUNTER WITH OTHERS. Univ. philos. [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.66, pp.171-192. ISSN 0120-5323. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph33-66.aeeo.
This article aims to thematize the experience of isolation that, for Gadamer, characterizes the way of inhabiting the lifeworld which is determined by technification. We maintain that friendship can face isolation affecting our historical situation. To develop this argument the article is divided into two parts: In the first one, we describe the areas where the condition of isolation and self-alienation is made manifest. In the second, we make clear that the experience of friendship allows us to cope with the condition of the isolation, that is, we discuss how friendship is a horizon leading to recover the ontological condition of our linked self-comprehension, a condition that increasingly blurs with the technological world.
