Aporophobia as an anthropological challenge. From the logic of cooperation to the logic of recognition

the aim of this paper is to connect the critical core of Adela Cortina's last work, Aporophobia, which can be summarized as a protest against the limitations of cooperation and reciprocity framework, with some elements appeared in Cortina's earlier works. To do this some of the limitations and advantages of the paradigm of reciprocity will be firstly described. Secondly the core of the work Aporophobia will be highlighted, specifically the places in which this problem become more evident. Some of the earlier works in which Cortina anticipated this same criticism through a different lens will be finally reviewed.
