Legitimidad política entre la substancia y el procedimiento
un enfoque pragmático
Palabras clave:
democracia, legitimidad, conocimiento, pragmatismo, experimentalismoResumen
Las concepciones más difundidas de la legitimidad democrática enfrentan problemas serios a la hora de articular de manera consistente dos dimensiones que parecen ir naturalmente asociadas a la idea de legitimidad: la dimensión procedimental, vinculada a la equidad del procedimiento, y la dimensión epistémica, asociada a la corrección de los resultados. En este trabajo sostengo que a) esa tensión surge de la adopción de una concepción epistemológica social de tipo “veritativo-consecuencialista; b) es posible manejar dicha tensión mediante el remplazo de la epistemología subyacente por una concepción epistemológica social de tipo procedimentalista de orientación pragmatista y c) dicha operación orienta el diseño institucional en una dirección experimentalista
