Abstract

This paper examines the idea of civil disobedience as praxis from a Western-hemisphere perspective. The reference to the term "civil" highlights the importance of theorizing about the category of civil society together with the concepts of democracy and praxis, in order to make an explicit justification of civil disobedience in democratic societies and to explore the possibility of extending such disobedience to the field of social praxis beyond the liberal conception of the term. Key Words: Civil society, civil disobedience, democracy, praxis, Latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
