This article adresses democracy problem, as it has been thought by a group of Chilean philosophers, in relation to military dictatorship, transition to democracy and post-authoritarian democracy's consolidation. We expone their critic to post-authoritarian democracy and its theoretical sustenance: the elitarian democratic theories and the consociative model. We also present the authors's democracy concept: this concept defends normative dimension of politics, the multidimensionality of democracy and participation. Finally, we reflect on authors contributions to think on an alternative democratic order.
