Abstract
La presente tesis aborda la interrogante sobre si la filosofía de Víctor Andrés Belaunde es una de la guerra o una hacia la paz. Se sostiene que su pensamiento constituye una praxis diplomática original que construye un camino hacia la paz. El estudio analiza su «doctrina de la Constitución Inicial», descomponiendo su arquitectura conceptual en dos pilares: la Filosofía del Derecho, cuyo principio de la libre determinación acaece como hecho que precede y legitima a la norma; y la Ontología, que reconstruye el concepto de «peruanidad» no como un ente estático, sino como un darse o condición de posibilidad. Este marco teórico se aplica al caso de las Conferencias de Washington (1936-1938), demostrando cómo Belaunde redefinió el conflicto Perú-Ecuador, desplazándolo de una disputa territorial a una defensa de la unidad de un sujeto histórico ya constituido. Se concluye que esta estrategia filosófica no fue una preferencia intelectual, sino una necesidad existencial derivada de la histórica debilidad militar del Perú, la cual obligó a la Nación a cultivar el pensamiento como su principal arma. El trabajo reinterpreta así el legado de Belaunde como un filósofo-estadista y propone un modelo ontológico para la comprensión de la soberanía y la resolución de conflictos.
This thesis addresses the question of whether the philosophy of Víctor Andrés Belaunde is one of war or one towards peace. It is argued that his thought constitutes an original diplomatic praxis that forges a path toward peace. The study analyzes his «doctrine of the Initial Constitution», deconstructing its conceptual architecture into two pillars: the Philosophy of Right, whose principle of self-determination arises as a fact that precedes and legitimizes the norm; and Ontology, which reconstructs the concept of «Peruanidad» (Peruvian-ness) not as a static entity, but as a giving-itself or condition of possibility. This theoretical framework is applied to the case of the Washington Conferences (1936-1938), demonstrating how Belaunde redefined the Peru-Ecuador conflict, shifting it from a territorial dispute to a defense of an already-constituted historical subject. The dissertation concludes that this philosophical strategy was not an intellectual preference but an existential necessity derived from Peru's historical military weakness, which compelled the Nation to cultivate thought as its primary weapon. Thus, the work reinterprets Belaunde's legacy as a philosopher-statesman and proposes an ontological model for understanding sovereignty and conflict resolution.
