Dilemas de uma cultura política democrática
Keywords:
Wellmer, man's rights, citizen's rights, legitimacy, political culture, democracyAbstract
The debate between liberals and communitarians yields two opposite positions concerning an adequate political culture to contemporary liberal democracies. Such positions, however, do not account for the democratic discourse's legitimacy of our times. This can be seen, for instance, by means of the analysis of two questions: (i) the distinction between man's rights and citizen's rights: (ii) the progressive dissociation between some and the ones who make the main political and economic decisions which affect this same people. Albrecht Wellmer offers sugestions to a democratic political culture in order to keep the main liberals and communitarians demands. We think nevertheless that even Wellmer's proposal reveals itself not to be enough.
