Abstract

Reworking the republican tradition is a basis of a contemporary philosophy of government. This paper attempts to give a sense of the direction in which a reworked republicanism would take democratic theory. The paper is in three sections. The first presents a sketch of neorepublican theory. The second develops an example: el condominium. And the third spells out the broad lessons for democratic theory

Repensar la tradición republicana es una base para una filosofía contemporánea del gobierno. Este trabajo trata de dar sentido a la dirección en la que un republicanismo repensado tomaría la teoría democrática. Se divide en tres secciones. La primera presenta un esquema de la teoría neorrepublicana. La segunda desarrolla un ejemplo: el condominio. Y la tercera explica las amplias lecciones que se derivan de lo estudiado para la teoría democrática.
