Luis Armando González presents a dense analysis of the book “The Essence and Value of Democracy”, by Hans Kelsen. The book, published in 1920, addresses the critiques of “party democracy” of that time: ‘anti-politics’, ‘anti-political parties’, and ‘anti-parliamentary’. Primarily based on Kelsen’s theses, this article highlights the defense of democratic praxis from the critique of its detractors.
