Moralidade política e filosofia econômica nos Diálogos de doutrina democrática (1933), de António Sérgio
Resumo
Este artigo quer recuperar alguns dos conceitos originais empregados por António Sérgio na obra ‘Diálogos de Doutrina Democrática’, publicada em 1933, numa época de intensa agitação social e instabilidade política em Portugal. No ensaio, pretende-se abordar a defesa da democracia feita por Sérgio – a despeito de todos os constrangimentos ideológicos e físicos do período entre guerras – de uma dúplice perspectiva política e econômica, a fim de tentar captar que tipo de diagnóstico moral subjaz as suas prescrições. Alguns dos paradoxos e das aporias encontradas nos “Diálogos” também serão trazidos à luz neste artigo.

Abstract
This article aims at recovering some of the original concepts employed by António Sérgio in his work ‘Diálogos de Doutrina Democrática’, published in 1933 – a time of social turmoil and political instability in his homeland Portugal. In this review, I intend to approach Sérgio’s case for democracy – despite all the physical and ideological constraints of the interwar period – from a dual economic and political perspective, in order to tentatively apprehend what sort of moral diagnosis lies behind Sérgio’s set of prescriptions. Some of the paradoxes and aporias found in the ‘Diálogo’ are also brought into light in this article. .
