Classical Political Philosophy in Popular Discourse The Case of Poland

Zbigniew Rau, Katarzyna M. Staszyńska, Maciej Chmieliński and Krzysztof Zagórski

Classical Political Philosophy in Popular Discourse: The Case of Poland was written by an interdisciplinary team composed of academic experts in the fields of political philosophy and jurisprudence as well as in sociology. It combines two scientific paradigms—classical political philosophy and contemporary, empirical sociology. The chief aim of this unique scientific project is to explore, operationalize, and reconstruct the political doctrine that is present in contemporary Polish society’s popular discourse. It is unique due to the unusual cooperation between political philosophers, philosophers of law, and empirical sociologists because their normal research concerns radically different subjects, objects, and forms, using different methods and terminology. However, this book produced a synthesis of their respective approaches through a particular kind of synergy and compromise. The result is a pioneering, original reconstruction of the political doctrine of a contemporary European national community.

ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE

french political thinker, sociologist, politician

Author of the two-volume work Democracy in America, widely regarded as the most insightful analysis of democratic political society. Of particular importance are his examinations of the conflict between liberty and equality, the benefits of local self-government and political associations, as well as the relationship between the state and churches. One of the most important thinkers of the 19th century to have formulated the idea of liberal democracy. Tocqueville believed that democracy is not harmful only insofar as it does not threaten individual liberty and autonomy.
