Counterpower. Dialectical Mediations as Open Works

Abstract

This work addresses the ideas of Arturo Andrés Roig, Joaquín Sánchez Macgrégor and Luis Villoro, philosophers who reflected on the issue of counterpower, which arises from the need to put limits on the despotic exercise that is carried out in the practice of political power. Thus, the epigraph expresses the manifest tendency in a significant number of people seeking social representation positions, because their objective of staying in them is due to the claim to obtain personal and group benefits. With the purpose of offering guidance on the proposals of the counterpower or alternative power, an analysis is presented on its characteristics, as well as on the proposals for dialectical mediation, because in these ideas about how to improve social unrest are exposed.
