La modernidad democrática como límite a la historia contextual de las ideas políticas

Abstract

In order to interrogate a certain chronological frontier recognized by the Cambridge School the present article intends, first, (1) to describe the development of its methodology, with special attention to the way in which the emphasis in the utterances’ context works as a defense for some form of permanence of the authorial intentionality, as a principle that ensures that the historical discourse remains tied to a truth; (2) analyze, then, the difficulties encountered when ensuring this access to authorial intentionality, especially to differentiate between the significant and the trivial when composing the context of enunciation. Finally, (3) it will be outline how authorial intentionality also functions as a principle of enunciation that makes its history a history of communicative actions of particular subjects, the political philosophers, thus leaving aside other possible forms of signification and subjectivization. This exclusion is particularly relevant since, following Jacques Rancière, the democratic revolution has made the collective and conflicting participation in the production of concepts a defining feature of political modernity and of the aporias of their knowledge. It is the difficulty in dealing with this condition of political modernity that would make the chronological frontier also a conceptual and necessary limit to its method.
