MORICONI BEZERRA, Marcelo. El buen juicio retórico como educación política del ciudadano. Revista SAAP [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.2. ISSN 1853-1970.

The paper seeks to reinterpret politics by listing a series of axiomatized ideas that may be perpetuating the social discomfort and preventing a genuine thinking in political science. Classic rhetoric and complex thinking offer useful tools for educating the citizens, paying attention to the inner nature of human reason, analyzing their imaginaries, and preparing themselves for a political life that begins with their own self-government. Then, politics is understood not as a continuous war but as the contingent construction of the social bond and the management of envies, sorrows, grudges and excessive ambitions. The differentiation between rationality and rationalization enables the (re)sedimentation of judgment as a necessary virtue for the consolidation of democracy and a better political education for the citizenship.

Palabras clave : Complex thinking; Rhetoric; Democracy; Education; Unrest.
