SAWAIA, Bader Burihan  y  FIGUEIREDO, Eugenia Bridget Gadelha. Social psychology and the study of inequality: reflections for a debate. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.2, pp. 659-670. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n2p659-670.

This paper deals with the approach of social inequality in the theoretical body and in social Psychology researches, arguing that it should move from the role of independent variable to object of study. It presents the epistemological and social risks of the use of the concept in the plural and in this sense we keep on asking about the concept of social inequality and exposing some reflections so that: a) it does not become a certain concept that facilitates its reduction to differences and diversities, favoring relativism and, or, becoming a catalyzing producer of hatred and segregation and b) for the (re) creation of concepts and analytical categories that allow us to achieve it in its ethical-political complexity. The study searches in Spinoza’s monistic philosophy and in the Marxist dialectic presuppositions to guide such reflections.

Palabras clave : Social Psychology; Social inequality; Relativism.
