Methodologically construct a hypothetical dialogue with the Italian thinker Norberto Bobbio, one of the most important systematizers of liberal democracy, defending a theoretical and conceptual complementarity between the two ideologies. Following the Bobbio theoretical propose, it presents the political contributions of classical liberalism that the Italian thinker identify as logical and axiological antecedent of the modern democracy, naturalizing and universalizing the principles and ideals of classical liberalism. Going counter, it problematizes the political contributions of classical liberalism, emphasizing the tension between liberal theory and its practice, between the declared political principles and their translation into concrete historical reality, reserving rights and freedoms to property minority and severe restrictions to the majority. The critical analysis of classical liberalism allows questioning the privilege position that Bobbio reserves to the liberalism in the democracy history, to restore the important contribution of illiberal politics currents in the civil, political and social rights history, advocating the democracy with its social character, inclusive and participatory / Este trabalho busca examinar as rela??es que se estabeleceram, ao longo da hist?ria, entre o liberalismo e a democracia, problematizando a aparente indissociabilidade entre as duas ideologias. Metodologicamente constr?i-se um hipot?tico di?logo com o pensador italiano Norberto Bobbio, um dos mais importantes sistematizadores do regime democr?tico liberal e defensor da complementariedade te?rico-conceitual entre estas duas correntes de pensamento. Acompanhando a proposta te?rica de Norberto Bobbio, apresentam-se as contribui??es pol?ticas do liberalismo cl?ssico que o pensador italiano entende como antecedentes l?gicos e axiol?gicos da democracia moderna, naturalizando e universalizando os princ?pios e ide?rios do liberalismo cl?ssico. Indo contracorrente, problematizam-se as contribui??es pol?ticas do liberalismo cl?ssico, ressaltando a tens?o existente entre a teoria e a pr?tica liberal, entre os princ?pios pol?ticos declarados e sua tradu??o na realidade hist?rica concreta, reservando direitos e liberdades para as minorias propriet?rias e severas restri??es para a grande maioria. A cr?tica ao liberalismo cl?ssico permite questionar o lugar de privil?gio reservado por Bobbio ao liberalismo na hist?ria da democracia, resgatando a importante contribui??o de correntes pol?ticas n?o liberais na hist?ria dos direitos civis, pol?ticos e sociais, defendendo a democracia, com seu car?ter social, includente e participativo
