Abstract

Although it is true that there are no perfect democracies, we can assert there are democracies more democratized than others. However, how to democratize democracies remains to be discovered. In this article, supported by a comparative analysis between the concept of citizenship and philosophical education (or education in philosophy), two hypotheses are proposed regarding the democratizing nature of education and the role that General Studies must fulfill from its political dimension. In conclusion -and supported by authors such as Robert Alan Dahl and Carlos S. Nino, especially- the transdisciplinary bond that unites philosophical education, citizenship status, human development indices and social justice will be exposed.
