Resumo
Este artigo pretende discutir a noção de democracia presente no pensamento de Florestan Fernandes entre os anos de 1950 e 1960, buscando salientar as diversas gradações que ela adquire nesse período. Nesses anos, sua concepção de democracia transita entre uma possibilidade imanente à sociedade de classes, à necessidade de sua afirmação para a consolidação da ordem social competitiva e à negação da democracia em uma ordem burguesa. Na obra de Fernandes a questão da democracia aparece concatenada a outros temas que lhe foram caros e é compreendida como uma forma de organização social, ou seja, como um dos pilares da sociedade, e não somente como uma forma de organização política. Apresentando-se, no Brasil, como um dilema permeado por obstáculos, impasses e possibilidades.
This article intends to discuss the notion of democracy present in Florestan Fernandes’ thought between the decades of 1950 and 1960, with the aim of stressing the various grades that it acquires in this period. During these years, his conception of democracy goes from an immanent possibility to society of classes, to the necessity of its assertion to the consolidation of a competitive social order, also considering its denial in a bourgeois order. In Fernandes’ work the question of democracy appears in connection to other themes that were dear to him, and is understood as a way of social organization, in other words, as one of the pillars of society, and not only as a way of political organization. This question, in Brazil, reports itself as a dilemma permeated by hurdels, blind alleys and possibilities.
