The feeling of social belonging as a basic and universal right

Abstract

This paper presents the study of the human condition, developed by Doyal and Gough, doing an interface with critical social psychology. These authors propose an objective and universal conception of human needs and include on field of the social right that must be provided by state, needs that go beyond material deprivation. The socio historical references of social inequality in the dialectical perspective are the base of the discussions that we developed. The interface with psychology can be possible when the authors include psychosocial factors as human need basic and universal, showing that coping of the social inequality must overcome the model of public policy that perversely transforms exclusion in inclusion, without considering the different forms of social legitimacy that determine the inequality or are determined by it.
