Democracy ... We hear this word from the TV screens, it is used by politicians and journalists, specialists and ordinary people, those who want to figure out what is happening in Russia and in the rest of the world. At first glance, there is nothing mysterious in it: in translation from the ancient Greek language, it means the power of the people. But if you take a closer look, then behind the apparent simplicity the mass of everything incomprehensible will be revealed. How did it happen that for different people the concept of “democracy” has different, sometimes directly opposite meaning? Under what circumstances did this word be born and why, among other “venerable” political concepts, does it turn out to be “illegitimate” and dangerous? Why did 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 the demos that is hidden in it? Does democracy have a future? The answers to these and many other questions are given by the professor of the European University in St. Petersburg Artemy Magun. The book is designed for everyone who is interested in the problems of politics, philosophy, history and social sciences
