O O POVO E A REPÚBLICA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE SALÚSTIO E O CONFLITO POLÍTICO NO REPUBLICANISMO ROMANO
Keywords:
Rome, Republicanism, Democracy, Conflict, History of Political ThoughtAbstract
My goal in this article is to address recent approaches to democracy and popular participation in the field of Political Theory and History of Political Thought. Guided by contemporary theoretical issues, I analyze the writings of a classic republican author, Sallust, with an emphasis on his views regarding political conflict. I intend to demonstrate that Sallust does not hold an essentialist view of political conflict and that his assertions can only be properly assessed if framed within the context of a mixed constitution. I discuss the movement labeled as republican revival, especially its more recent developments concerning the reality of ancient Republican Rome. Next, I consider elements of the debate on the popular element among contemporary political theorists. Finally, I examine Sallust's writings, investigating his thoughts on political conflict and evaluating the relevance of his considerations to the efforts by contemporary theorists to understand the role of the people, and of conflict, in politics.References
