| Sumario: | With an interpretative focus, this article explains why for Benjamin Constant democracy could only appear where a necessary relation between freedom as defense of individual rights —freedom as independency or negative freedom— and freedom conceived as principle of public participation —freedom as autonomy or positive freedom— is present. This article also underscores the importance that the author gave to those traditions that embodied the configuration of a nation’s cultural universe. The article concludes that one can find in the work of Constant a clear defense of Rule of Law and pluralism that can enlighten the comprehension of political problems in the contemporary world. |
