| Description | The objective of the paper is to formulate a few observations regarding the tendency to classify political regimes as democratic and non-democratic ones based on essentially anthropological categories of human qualities, with reference to Giovanni Sartori’s or Vladimír Čermák’s approaches. The context of reflection is the current debate on the crisis of liberal democratic regimes and how to prevent the influence and rise of non-democratic regimes, with reference to Timothy Snyder’s approach. |
