Through a comparative analysis of Jürgen Habermas and Antonio Negri’s democratic theories, the present article intends to clarify the conceptual foundations of both works. Its core consists in the discussion over the different inscriptions of each conception of democracy in a plane of immanence, with the premise that the cross-reading of these two authors favors a more acute comprehension of the theories’ structural components, normative implications and limits. This study’s main goal is to best define Negri’s and Habermas’ democratic theories as distinct alternatives (deliberation/substance), with some potential complementarities (e.g., the focus on consensus, be it as form or as content), that enable us to grasp the contemporary democratic dilemma.References
