Resumen
Existe un consenso hegemónico sobre los beneficios de la democracia, sin embargo, desde sus orígenes
helénicos hasta la actualidad, no faltan autores que se han dedicado a identificar las falencias de este
modelo político. Esta investigación tiene por objetivo revelar algunas de las críticas valiosas efectuadas a
la democracia. Con este propósito, se seleccionan dialógicamente diferentes autores ubicados en distintos
contextos temporales e ideológicos y se hace un tratamiento hermenéutico-dialógico de sus argumentos.
En lo metodológico se trata, en consecuencia, de una investigación de tipo hermenéutica con base a fuentes
documentales impresas sustentada en una epistemología postpositivista. Se concluye que, en su doble condición
de constructo teórico (ideal democrático) y experiencia histórica concreta la democracia o, mejor dicho,
las poliarquías, son formas de gobierno en todo momento perfectibles y susceptibles a un tratamiento crítico
para descubrir sus contradicciones, limitaciones y ambigüedades. En este sentido, el aporte fundamental de la
investigación radica en impulsar los espacios dialógicos sobre la democracia y sus desafíos históricos, desde
la relectura de obras cumbres de la ciencia política y la filosofía política.

This research aims to reveal some of the valuable criticisms made to democracy. For this purpose, different authors located in different temporal and ideological contexts are selected dialogically and a hermeneutic-dialogic treatment of their arguments is made. In methodological terms, it is, consequently, a hermeneutic research based on printed documentary sources based on a postpositivist epistemology. It is concluded that, in its double condition of theoretical construct (democratic ideal) and concrete historical experience, democracy or, rather, polyarchies, are perfectible forms of government the most of the time and at the same time susceptible to a critical treatment to discover their contradictions, limitations and ambiguities. In this sense, the fundamental contribution of this research lies in promoting dialogic spaces on democracy and its historical challenges, from the rereading of top works about political science and political philosophy.
