Współczesna krytyka populizmu a krytyka demokracji Platona i Arystotelesa – podobieństwa i wnioski

Abstract

The author points out similarities between modern-day criticism of populism and ancient Plato’s
and Aristotle’s criticism of democracy. On this basis, some issues contained in common approaches
to populism are considered, including potential elitism and usage of arguments of antidemocratic
origins and significance. That raises the question of linkages between populism and
democracy.
