Abstract

This article presents a short analysis of the neorepublican political philosophy and examines two different republican projects: Michael Sandel’s public philosophy and Philip Pettit’s theory of freedom as non‑domination and as his model of democracy. While discussing some crucial differences between substantial (Sandel) and instrumental (Pettit) republicanism, the author refers to the Aristotelian perspective as the starting point for the classical republican tradition that has been rejected by neorepublicans such as Pettit. The article focuses on several problematic issues of the neorepublican philosophy including its interpretation of the classical republican tradition, as well as the complex relationship between two terms present in the neorepublican discourse: a republic and a democracy, which it presents.
