Abstract

This activity plan aims to present the general lines around which the third topic of axis one (1) of the main project intends to be built. It involves analyzing a paper first published in 2017, the central theme of which is the concept of aporophobia, aversion to the poor. The aim is to answer the following question, which is subsidiary to the central question guiding this line of research: Is the concept of poverty defended by Adela Cortina linked to the minimum? If so, in what ways? If not, in what ways?
