Abstract
El artículo realiza una reconstrucción de cómo fue retratada la tradición liberal argentina a lo largo del siglo XX. El principal argumento es que críticas con inscripciones y tendencias ideológicas y políticas no sólo diferentes sino opuestas (autoritarias, de izquierda y democráticas) coincidieron en concebir al liberalismo como autoritario o conservador. Estas semblanzas, fundamentadas en parte en posicionamientos políticos de sectores liberales a lo largo de la historia argentina, fueron resultado de motivaciones políticas, es decir, de proponer un diagnóstico sobre la situación política de sus respectivos presentes a través de un uso político de la historia. El resultado de todo ello es la instalación de una pésima reputación pública del liberalismo. Y esto se considera un problema, en tanto dificulta una convergencia entre liberalismo y democracia, necesaria, como es evidente, para la democracia liberal.Palabras clave: liberalismo, democracia, pensamiento político, Argentina Characterizations of Argentine liberalism in the 20th century. A problematic legacy for liberal democracyAbstractThe article makes a reconstruction of how the Argentine liberal tradition was portrayed throughout the 20th century. The main argument is that critics with not only different but also opposite ideological and political tendencies (authoritarian, leftist and democratic) coincided in conceiving liberalism as authoritarian or conservative. These portrayals, based in part on the political positions of liberal sectors throughout Argentine history, were the result of political motivations, that is to say, of proposing a diagnosis of the political situation of their respective present through a political use of history. The result of all this is the installation of a very bad public reputation of liberalism. And this is considered a problem, insofar as it hinders a convergence between liberalism and democracy, necessary, as is evident, for liberal democracyKey words: Liberalism, Democracy, Political Thought, Argentina ARK CAICYT: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s16668979/1hxqriijd
