Abstract

Gonzalo Fernández de la Mora built an interesting theory dealing with the aristocratic composition of every society. His elitism is based on racional arguments, even more, it is based on the use of reason. This theory tries to refute igualitarian discourses, show the dysfunctional caracter of ideologies and the falsehood of moral legitimations of democracy. Democracy, in this point, is no more than a way to select political elites.
