The paper presents a synthesis of the different and recently definitions of the republicanism. First, there is a critical analysis of the different approaches that aim the definition in the way of the opposite traditions, the problem of the tautology of the definition, and the exaggerated extrapolations. In the second moment, the paper argues that the supposed exception of the French republicanism is, by the way, more like the Anglo-Saxon tradition than is commonly accepted. So, the strategy of the historical definition turns more difficulty to the conceptual approaches. And then, the paper argues that the normative definitions explicitly dialogue with the contemporary political theories. In the end, the paper argues that is possible to elaborate a definition by a synthesis of these approaches, concepts, and contexts.
