Vol. 23 No. Especial (2019): Republic: Vices and Virtues
The book Razones Públicas, by Andrés Rosler, analyzes six concepts to understand the idea of republic and classical republicanism: freedom, virtue, debate, law and country as positive elements, and Caesarism as a negative element. The texts included in this issue of Discusiones cover a wide spectrum of topics. Emmanuel Biset explores the interaction between the history of ideas and present politics. Luciano Venezia, Romina Rekers and Matías González del Solar interrogate the classic ideal of freedom as non-domination from a liberal and neo-republican perspectives. Anna Richter conducts an examination of the role of republican virtues in today's societies. Finally, Guillermo Lariguet and Paula Hunziker address issues related to public debate, the capacity to judge and, ultimately, Caesarism.
