Fernandez Pavlovich, Marcelo REPUBLICANISMO ARISTÓTELES VIRTUD CÍVICA CICERÓN REPUBLICANISM ARISTOTLE CIVIC VIRTUE CICERO If we put theory aside, these are difficult times for republicanism and one of its central concepts: civic virtue. Contrary to this, there is a question regarding the Aristotelian notions related to it that could survive in contemporary complex societies. Some key political concepts of the Stagirite thinker and also of Marco Tulio Cicero, a Roman author who follows in his footsteps, will be reviewed in order to update the elements that might still be applied to our societies, while others should be left aside. Hand in hand with this, at a time of high apathy in relation to democracy, and a certain anomie caused by an exacerbated individualism, we understand that the question of the existence, actuality and possibilities of civic virtue in the 21st century is a key issue. And, in the event of an affirmative answer to that possibility, it is worth asking ourselves how Aristotelian this virtue would be today. Si dejamos a un lado la teoría, son tiempos difíciles para el republicanismo y uno de sus conceptos centrales: la virtud cívica. A contramano de ello, cabe la pregunta respecto a las nociones aristotélicas que, en tal sentido, podrían pervivir en las sociedades complejas contemporáneas. Se repasarán algunos conceptos políticos clave del pensador estagirita y también de Marco Tulio Cicerón, autor romano que sigue sus pasos, para luego intentar actualizar aquellos elementos que, entendemos, aún pueden aplicarse a nuestras sociedades, mientras que otros deberán ser dejados a un lado. Asimismo, en un momento de alta apatía en relación a la democracia, y de cierta anomia provocada por un individualismo exacerbado, entendemos que es clave la pregunta por la existencia, actualidad y posibilidades de la virtud cívica en el siglo XXI. Y, en caso de respuesta afirmativa a dicha posibilidad, cabe preguntarnos cuánto de aristotélico tendría hoy esa virtud. Escuela de Filosofía.
