RESUMO

The theme of democracy is perhaps the most important theme in the work of the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. However, despite the essential importance of a discussion tied to its normative aspects, we intend to test a complementary perspective in the study of this issue. At present, it is important to emphasize that Habermas thought democracy not only from of their normative possibilities of realization of ideals, such as autonomy and self-determination. As an authentic critical theorist, he also investigated the concrete possibilities of institutionalization of democratic forms of government. The analysis of the tense relationship between capitalism and democracy is important to think about the systemic or structural constraints that capitalism imposes on the functioning of liberal democratic regimes. That is, we mean to think democracy from its concrete possibilities of realization, which requires taking into account the obstacles imposed by the late capitalism. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze the first two decades of the intellectual history of the German philosopher from the perspective of the relationship between capitalism and democracy. We will investigate how the treatment of this topic emerges from the diagnoses of late capitalism produced by the author over several works, culminating in his Theory of Communicative Action (1981). Furthermore, on the steps of Habermas, we will ask about the status of this tense relationship in the context of contemporary capitalism, characterized by neoliberalism, globalization and crises.
