- Abstract
When we look at the theories that determine today the debates in the field of political philosophy, we realize that the issue of a pluralistic and conflictual public sphere together with that of the public discussion are inevitably at the center of these debates. These theories, on the one hand, try to reveal, through a conception of citizenship based on human rights, the possibilities of reactivating a citizenship that is gradually dying out and increasingly limited to the act of voting; on the other hand, they remind us of the paradoxical nature of democracy, revealing it neither as a definitive goal nor as a state of final consensus, but as a dynamic of social emancipation and justice in which the tension between conflict and consensus is constantly experienced. This article evaluates the theories of Étienne Balibar and Catherine Colliot Thélène, who conceive of democracy by focusing on the connection between human rights and citizenship, and also, on the tension between conflict and compromise, in order to sketch a reflection on how their conceptions of citizenship can lead us to rethink the republic.
