rd and what its curr ent range? The scope of the law and the promotion of the i ndi vidual in Athenian horizon favored a condition in which the individual aquil ata for yourself the con sistent position with the rule and sets himself on purp ose to serve. Strengthen the individual to strengthen the sovere ignty, praisin g the virtue to achieve moral perfec tion, serve Polis serving the best of himse lf, dev oting the most of the work for to own merits in or der to serve maximall y to fellow citizens, this is the chart of the strategic Greek political power. Understanding the treasure of a state consecrated by laws is to understand the history and evolution as a democratic direction. Democracy is the best policy? We think so. We aim therefore discern the profound nature of de mocracy to sup port his defense not only as the bes t form of government, but as the best polit ical co nstruction route to the future, seeking justice, p eace, welfare and hap piness possible of humanity. We understand democracy as the highest political c onstruction of Western history and capable of asse rting world, but we also see as an obstacle to the construction of the critical Marxist mother insis ts depr eciate the most diverse democratic experien ces under the label of "bourgeo is democracy&q uot;. We recognize that in times past this characterizat ion has been appropriate and useful. However, we will argue that such criticism become s , in the context of modern democratic construction , unsustainable. Como compreender as origens gregas da democracia? Qual o significado dessa palav ra e qual o seu alcance atual? O alcance da lei e da promoo do indivduo no horizont e ateniense favoreceu uma circunstncia na qual o indivduo aquilata por si mesmo a postura condizente com a regra e se pe a si mesmo no propsito de servir. Fortalece r o indivduo para fortalecer a soberania, enaltecer a virtude para alcanar a perfe io moral, servir a Polis servindo ao melhor de si mesmo, consagrar ao mximo o traba lho para com os prprios mritos a fim de servir maximamente aos concidados, eis o pr onturio do estratgico poder poltico grego. Compreender o tesouro de um Estado consa grado por leis compreender a prpria histria no seu direcionamento democrtico e evol utivo. A democracia a melhor poltica? Julgamos que sim. Objetivamos, pois, discer nir a natureza profunda da democracia para fundamentar sua defesa no s como a melh or forma de governo, mas como a melhor via de construo poltica para o futuro, visan do justia, paz, ao bem-estar e felicidade possvel da humanidade. Entendemos a demo cracia como a mxima construo poltica da histria do Ocidente e capaz de se afirmar mun dialmente, mas constatamos tambm como obstculo para essa construo a crtica de matriz marxista que insiste em depreciar as mais variadas experincias democrticas sob o rt ulo de democracia burguesa. Admitimos que em pocas passadas esta caracterizao tenha s ido cabvel e til. Todavia, tentaremos demonstrar que tal crtica se torna, no contex to da construo democrtica moderna, insustentvel.
