| Sumario: | The humanist dimension of a vast sector of the Latin Americanist discourse – as far as this dimension demands problem- posing a certain notion of universality -has been interpellated in an ongoing basis with the need to account for the possible ways of its political realization. Therefore, the problem- posing of the concept of democracy at the heart of its different formulations was rendered essential. This paper highlights three ways of characterizing democracy linked to the particular forms of illustrating the Latin American culture from three famous Latin Americanist literary essays: Ariel (1900), by José Enrique Rodó; El porvenir de América Latina (1910), by Manuel Ugarte; and the posthumous Hacia un humanismo americano (1966), by Antenor Orrego.
