oapen-20.500.12657-550412022-06-01T03:08:44Z Società civile e democrazia radicale Cini, Lorenzo bic Book Industry Communication::H Humanities::HP Philosophy::HPS Social & political philosophy bic Book Industry Communication::J Society & social sciences::JP Politics & government::JPA Political science & theory This work asks questions on the relationship between innovative collective actors, such as the 'new social movements' and the political institutions of representative democracy starting from an underlying hypothesis: the idea that civil society is the main source of political legitimation of liberal democracy. More precisely, what this monograph reflects on is the capacity of the social movements to concretely test alternative forms of democracy. The aim of the contemporary movements is to augment the fundamental values of the "democratic revolution", namely the principles of freedom and equality. They constantly lead to conflict and social antagonism: indeed new conflicts and new antagonisms arise every time that the movements implement radical experiences of democracy in the multiple and different spheres of social life. Only by accepting and setting value by these alternative democratic practices and experiences – and this is the author of this work's thesis – may democratic ideals be revived in contemporary society. 2022-05-31T10:19:57Z 2022-05-31T10:19:57Z 2012 book ONIX_20220531_9788866551829_325 2704-5870 9788866551829 9788866551836 9788866552017 9788892736054 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/55041 ita Strumenti per la didattica e la ricerca application/pdf n/a 9788866551829.pdf https://books.fupress.com/isbn/9788866551829 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6655-182-9 This work asks questions on the relationship between innovative collective actors, such as the 'new social movements' and the political institutions of representative democracy starting from an underlying hypothesis: the idea that civil society is the main source of political legitimation of liberal democracy.
