Abstract

SILVA, Sidney Reinaldo da. A educação frente às tendências liberal e comunitarista da democracia. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.28, pp.153-169. ISSN 1981-0431.

The aim of this paper is to set in contrast some models of democracy in order to investigate the educational management, discussing the heuristic potential of those models for the comprehension of the challenges of democratic school administration and the way educational policies are conceived and implemented in the public school. The contractualist or liberal democracy and its communitarianist or participatory conception are dealt with. These conceptions, despite the fact that they set over against each other, intersect and need one another in order to selfdefine themselves, as a part of the same ethical-political family. In spite of its criticism to individualism and to the logic of the social contract as a base for democracy, the communitarian conception is not compatible with the exigencies of capitalism, thus allowing it to rearticulate politically using new ethical foundations.

Keywords : Ethical and Political Models; Democracy; Educational Management.
