This paper shows democracy as a way of Government that is the result of the exercise of democracy as the citizens' way of life. By means of argumentation they build for themselves a set of values, from which individual and collective projects are conceived. At the same time, they impact their environment and transform it through the implementation of these projects. According to the proposals of Germán Vargas Guillén and Guillermo Bustamante Zamudio, it is necessary to design citizens' formation projects for societies with these features. According to Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum and Pierre Lévy, the question is what values are required to educate subjects who will be able to make such projects a reality.

Keywords : Argumentation; education; democracy; pedagogy; postmodern condition.
