Hegel’s famous claim that “Philosophy is the child of its time” touches on how Philosophy incorporates new social issues that affect the lives of human beings. One of the main characteristics of philosophical thought, and a main line of research in classic and current philosophical works, lies in its contribution to explore how people face the risks, vicissitudes and changes that life presents. Love of wisdom, the search for wanting to know more, the radical continuous thinking that Socrates speaks of and that is at the core of Philosophy are attitudes that encourage the capacity for indignation. Only when we question reality, when we reflect and wonder about what occurs to us or to others and its causes, can we have a better understanding of the pros and cons of our claims and can therefore come up with nonviolent actions to undertake. From this conviction, I would like to display the points of view of a Philosophy for Peace, an applied Philosophy with the objective of empowering our human capacities for transforming human and environmental suffering by peaceful means. Hence, this essay aims at reflecting on the significance of “indignation,” as it has recently emerged in social protest movements in Spain and elsewhere, from the genealogy of the notion of recognition.
