PRONO, Santiago. The relationship between ethics and politics in deliberative democracy. A critical analysis of “Significación moral de la democracia”, by Julio De Zan. Tópicos [online]. 2019, n.37, suppl.1, pp.90-99. ISSN 1666-485X.

The article analyzes the problem of the relationship between ethics and politics taking into account the work of J. De Zan “Significación moral de la democracia” (1991). The idea is to complement, not without critical observations, this work identifying, in the first place, the reconstructive sense of the theoretical approach to the deliberative democracy of J. Habermas. For this purpose, a part of its philosophical foundations is also made explicit, such as the universal pragmatics of language, whose thematization of the universal claims of validity of argumentative discourse makes it possible to identify the morally constitutive character of argumentative rationality, and therefore of the deliberative democracy. Although indirectly, this paper proposes to discuss critically also with the current Habermasian position on the subject.

Palabras clave : De Zan; Deliberative Democracy; Politics; Moral; Reconstructive Sense.
