El presente trabajo acomete el análisis de las complejas relaciones entre verdad y democracia a partir de la noción de parrhesia, tal y como esta fue rescatada por Michel Foucault durante sus últimos trabajos. La propuesta foucaultiana predica una vinculación constitutiva, no exenta de tensiones, entre ambas: no puede haber democracia sin referencia a una cierta idea de verdad, pero la emergencia de tal verdad presupone la existencia de un espacio democrático. La construcción de ese espacio se realiza sobre la crítica a todo intento de monopolizar la capacidad de decir la verdad. En este sentido, el concepto de injusticia epistémica nos ayuda a entender cómo se imbrican lo político y lo epistémico en el proceso democrático.Palabras clave: parrhesia, democracia, verdad, Foucault, injusticia epistémica.AbstractThe present paper attempts to analyse the complex relationship between truth and democracy from the notion of parrhesia, as Foucault treated it during his last works. The Foucauldian approach establishes a stressing linkage on one another: there can be no democracy without appealing to certain idea of truth, but the emergence of such truth involves the existence of a democratic space. Such space is constructed through the critic of every attempt to monopolize the capacity of saying the truth. In this sense, the concept of epistemic injustice helps us to understand how political and epistemic dimensions are interwoven in the democratic process. Key words: parrhesia, democracy, truth, Foucault, epistemic injustice.
