Los principios del conservadurismo político

Authors: Gómez Alonso, Modesto M.;

Los principios del conservadurismo político

Abstract

Las pretensiones del autor son: (i) Mostrar cómo el conservadurismo político se sostiene en una concepción de la naturaleza humana de corte racionalista, que, oponiéndose al modelo antropológico de Hobbes, reconoce tanto el poder de la razón sobre los afectos como una debilidad intrínseca en el hombre que no ha de confundirse con inclinación natural al mal. En este sentido, la política moderada del conservadurismo resulta de su pesimismo mitigado. (ii) Señalar cómo de acuerdo con este paradigma político los criterios de legitimidad política son la protección de las minorías, la preservación de la igualdad de derechos y el mantenimiento de una libertad racional de la que participan por igual todos los miembros del cuerpo político; es decir, cómo la medida de la legitimidad es el imperio de la ley. (iii) Finalmente, subrayar que porque para que exista Estado de derecho la ley no puede estar sujeta a voluntad particular alguna, sea de un individuo o de una mayoría, el conservadurismo es baluarte de una democracia constitucionalista que es condición natural de la naturaleza humana. We pretend: (i) To show how Conservatism is grounded on a rationalist conception of human nature which, being opposed to the anthropological model proposed by Hobbes, acknowledges both the power of reason over passions and that human beings are weak but not wicked. In this sense, the moderate politics of conservative parties comes from a mitigated pessimism. (ii) To point out that, according to this paradigm, states at heart are designed to protect minorities, to preserve equality of rights, to devise effective checks upon preponderant majorities and unrestrained governments and to enhance rational freedom. The only criterion of political legitimacy is to abide by law. (iii) Finally, to stress that, because tyranny is subjection of law to the naked force of the will, be it the will of a leader, an assembly or popular will, Conservatism is the rampart of Constitution and true Democracy, and thus, the shelter of the natural state for men.
