Descrição
Resumo:The article examines the relationship between the Brazilian institutional consciousness and the current performance of Brazilian institutions. The analysis departs from a practical problem: what can Brazilian democracy do, closed by a particular intellectual setting under the pretext of maintaining political stability, and running away from the responsibility of conceiving and designing new institutions? The argument follows a series of connected steps: (i) the question about the main problem of Brazilian democracy; (ii) the question about its theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, considering alternative lineages of institutional thought; (iii) the question about how Brazilian social and political thought molds national institutional challenges and which streams of Brazilian thought should be revived; (iv) and, finally, the claim of a new path for Brazilian democracy in its institutional form, considering existing and available modalities of thought.
