Autonomy, Democracy and Equality

Abstract

In this paper I will explore the explicative and normative potential of Jan Sieckmann’s autonomous argumentation. Whit that purpose, in the first part I propose a reconstruction of the thesis of the autonomous argumentation within deliberative understanding of democracy and a non-positivist theory of law. In the second part, I analyze two constitutional political processes, with the aim of proving the conceptual frame developed in the first part.
