Abstract

Considering the concept of democracy as an indeterminate form of power, this article attempts to think the concrete sense of the social organization directed by democracy. Democracy seems to accept a socialist as well as a liberal material organization. That is why it is necessary to distinguish the formal level of democratic openness from the material level of fighting for hegemony in which this alternative arises, and to understand both as conflicting contingent determinations.
