Politics as the art of good government needs a science policy for the public power not the stage of the constitution of privilege and monopoly of private interests achieved and consolidated by means intolerable in a democratic culture. In other words, political science teach or be taught to know and build the means to aim at obtaining political power and that this is not used as a bounty for the benefit of some holders of political power. In addition, political science highlights how politics, even in tragic situations as international or non-international armed conflicts, it is limited by law to serve as an instrument legality of legitimacy.

Reflect on all this taking advantage of the harsh reality of a non-international armed conflict in Colombia and the need to overcome it through intersubjective dialogue is the subject of this article as a whole.
