  • Normativní a empirické předpoklady moderní demokracie aneb Janusovská tvář veřejného mínění

Kunštát, Daniel. 2008. „Normativní a empirické předpoklady moderní demokracie aneb Janusovská tvář veřejného mínění“. Naše společnost. 6 (2): 3-7. ISSN 1214-438X.

The following text outlines some aspects of people´s decision making process during elections in modern mass democracies. Particularly, the aspect of (in)competence of electorate or, as the case may be, the problem of rationality of the political audiance that creates the public opinion. The arguments proving the discrepancy between the normativ and the empiric character of public opinion are purposly disbalanced based on the evaluation of reality. This, however, does not in any way influence the evaluation of adequacy of the democratic normativ.
