Democracy, or the Demon and the Hegemon
9.99 €
Democracy... We hear this word from TV screens, it is used by politicians and journalists, experts and ordinary people, those who want to understand what is happening in Russia and the rest of the world. At first glance, there is nothing mysterious about it: in translation from ancient Greek it means "power of the people". But if you look closely, you will find a lot of things behind the apparent simplicity. How did it happen that for different people the concept of "democracy" has different, sometimes directly opposite meaning? Under what circumstances was this word born and why among other "honorable" political concepts it turns out to be "illegitimate" and dangerous? Why has it become so incredibly popular and important in our life today? What is the secret demonism of democracy and how to tame the indomitable power of demos, which is hidden in it? Does democracy have a future? The answers to these and many other questions are given by Artemy Magun, Professor at the European University in St. Petersburg.
