Abstract

This paper aims to present some pragmatic perspectives concerning the possible knowledge from procedural actors regarding the direction of democracy in the world of the criminal legal practice, their roles and responsibilities towards this matter, as these phenomena can be noticed in our everyday forensic environment, and in such a unique way in Brazil. Finally, this paper investigates what it would do to the future of democracy in this country. Furthermore, as a phatic referential, realistic considerations of the dynamics of the Criminal Procedure are presented. With a theoretical reference, digressions utilize contemporary philosophy, specifically linked to Habermas' democracy and communicative action.
