Partiendo de su formación marxista y posterior distanciamiento hacia un &#8220;postmarxismo reflexivo&#8221;, se examinan los fundamentos filosóficos que articulan su concepción democrática: la autonomía moral kantiana, la noción aristotélica del buen ciudadano y la integración de emociones en el juicio político. Heller concibe la democracia como un proyecto normativo de la modernidad, sustentado en la reciprocidad simétrica, la deliberación racional y el respeto a la dignidad humana. Se analiza su propuesta de &#8220;La Gran República&#8221;, modelo que equilibra democracia directa y representación multipartidista. Asimismo, se aborda su interpretación de la relación liberalismo-democracia, donde la libertad y la igualdad constituyen valores complementarios que requieren protección institucional mediante constituciones sólidas. Finalmente, se estudia su noción de &#8220;orbanismo&#8221; como forma de autocracia electiva y amenaza para el constitucionalismo liberal, en diálogo con su defensa de una ciudadanía activa, moralmente comprometida y deliberativa.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The paper reconstructs the democratic theory of Ágnes Heller, a Hungarian philosopher whose work intertwines ethics, politics, and intellectual biography. Starting from her Marxist formation and subsequent shift toward a &#8220;reflective post-Marxism,&#8221; it examines the philosophical foundations that shape her democratic conception: Kantian moral autonomy, the Aristotelian notion of the good citizen, and the integration of emotions into political judgment. Heller conceives democracy as a normative project of modernity, grounded in symmetrical reciprocity, rational deliberation, and respect for human dignity. The study analyzes her proposal of &#8220;The Great Republic,&#8221; a model that balances direct democracy and multi-party representation. It also addresses her interpretation of the liberalism-democracy relationship, where freedom and equality are understood as complementary values requiring institutional protection through strong constitutions. Finally, it examines her notion of &#8220;Orbanism&#8221; as a form of elective autocracy and a threat to liberal constitutionalism, in dialogue with her defense of an active, morally committed, and deliberative citizenry.]]></p></abstract>
