Political philosophy; Democracy; Michael WalzerAbstract
The aim of this paper is to present the relationship between political philosophy and democracy in the Michael Walzer’s work, influenced by John Rawls. To do this, it will be done a brief presentation of Rawls’s views about that relationship. After, it will be shown that Walzer corroborates and expands the Rawls’s conception. Finally, it will be described the role of immanent critique that Walzer attributes to political philosophy in contemporary democracies, turning it rather policy’s guide, based on privileged contemplation of any alleged transcendent and binding order, into a committed engagement only with the very democratic order.
