El guardián de la constitución. Elementos para una epistemología de la democracia

This article aims at providing an epistemological justification for both democracy and the constitutional jurisdiction of constitutional courts (“the guardian of the constitution”) by means of the examination of the peculiar way in which truth is disclosed in political judgment, namely as opinion. Starting with an analysis of opinion, the article intends to demonstrate the tragical nature of democracy: on the one side, it cannot dispense with truth; on the other it cannot be safe of being in truth.
