Books by Stanislaw Filipowicz

The author approaches the idea of deliberative democracy with reservation, attempting to expose the vain hopes rooted in the Enlightenment tradition, and encourages reflection on the appeal of deception in a world which has become the media's and which rejects metaphysics in favour of pragmatic theories.

Democracy - hope or illusion? Blooming, failing or declining? Our doubts and hesitation make part of unbending efforts to endorse and explain democracy. Who is right - the custodians of promise or the prophets of decline? The author tries to explore "the other side of the moon", emphasizing the role of critical thinking, opposing a main-current optimism.
