El presente artículo explora el pensamiento político de Tocqueville desde una perspectiva que evalúa cómo el despotismo eclipsa los emblemas republicanos, impidiendo que la democracia moderna pueda transformar la realidad social. Teniendo presente esta tensión, explora en qué medida la libertad política puede reparar las anomalías producidas por la igualdad de las condiciones. En este sentido, reconstruyendo las principales características por las cuales el liberalismo político de Tocqueville se diferencia del liberalismo económico, procederemos a demostrar cómo la concepción del nuevo despotismo democrático formulado por el autor francés acontece en el entorno contemporáneo como una posibilidad posmoderna en virtud de trascender la tradición.

| description |
This article explores Tocqueville's political thought from a perspective that assesses how despotism eclipses republican emblems, preventing modern democracy from transforming social reality. Bearing this tension in mind, it explores to what extent political freedom can repair the anomalies produced by the equality of conditions. In this sense, reconstructing the main characteristics by which Tocqueville's political liberalism differs from economic liberalism, we will proceed to demonstrate how the conception of the new democratic despotism formulated by the French author occurs in the contemporary environment as a postmodern possibility by virtue of transcending tradition. |
