Abstract

1. Whatever the “minimum democratic ethic” may be, the question points, ultimately and definitively, to the relationship between ethics and democracy, which has historically occurred both on the practical level, of politics as activity, as in the theoretical plane, either of moral sciences or political sciences. Considering that, from the point of view of logic, the term constitutes the manifestation of the concept, it becomes natural to begin with the analytical approach to the problem and, consequently, to determine preliminarily what is to be understood by "ethics" and what by "democracy". ”.
