          Abstract

          Frecuentemente, los planteos democráticos de Chantal Mouffe y Jürgen Habermas son presentados como incompatibles y mutuamente excluyentes. No obstante, el presente trabajo los aborda desde un prisma conciliatorio que permite resaltar dos propósitos fundamentales que resultan comunes a ambas concepciones: la crítica a la tradición liberal y la radicalización del ideario democrático. Se explora la convergencia de los enfoques deliberativo y agonístico en la comprensión simbólica de la sociedad democrática que propone Claude Lefort. Este tipo de sociedad ha vaciado el lugar del poder y ha disuelto los marcadores de certeza. Sin fundamentos trascendentes, la democracia se comprende entonces como un proyecto siempre perfectible, abierto e inconcluso y, en este sentido, radical.

          Translated abstract

          Chantal Mouffe and Jürgen Habermas’ democratic perspectives are frequently portrayed as incompatible and mutually opposed. However, this paper proposes a conciliatory approach by emphasizing two fundamental ideas that both authors share: the critique of the liberal tradition and the radicalization of the democratic ideal. Here we explore the deliberative and agonistic convergence in the symbolic understanding of the democratic society that Claude Lefort proposes. This type of society has emptied power’s place and dissolved the markers of certainty. Without transcendent grounds, democracy is conceived as an always perfectible, open ended and uncompleted project, and therefore, radical
