Abstract

This paper reflects on the approach of social inequality in the theoretical body and in research in social psychology, arguing that it should move from the role of independent variable to object of study. It presents the epistemological and social risks of the concept use in the plural and in this sense we continue asking about the conception of social inequality and exposing some reflections so that: i) it does not become a good concept that facilitates its reduction to differences and diversities, favoring relativism. and / or becoming a catalyst for hatred and segregation and ii) for the (re) creation of concepts and analytical categories that allow us to achieve it in its ethical-political complexity. Search in Spinoza's monistic philosophy and Marxist dialectic presuppositions to guide such reflections.

Keywords: social psychology, social inequality, relativism.
