There is a truth of democracy? (Marco Emanuele)

In the age of indistinct dominant information, which is the exact opposite of knowledge, we do not seem able to find a truth of democracy. The "media domain" (which often hides the processes of reality) and the absolutization (dogmatization) of the democratic model, regardless of the contextualization in the worlds-of-life, make us subjects (not citizens) of a presumed "democratic perfection" that is deeply unreal. To understand whether there is a truth of democracy we should see - first of all - if there is a truth of reality and if, in some way, we humans are able to access it.

Democracy is an instrument, a process, a method and, as such, has a truth that forms itself in progress, never final and never given forever. That 's what makes democracy a "conquest to conquer" through our responsibility and awareness of the strategic value of our freedom as liberation; also, the "truth in progress" is the sign of democracy as a perfectible uncertain process.

Certainly, we can not find a truth in exporting and imposing democracy; in doing so, in fact, we "betray" all that we recognize as a positive democratic experience.
