Abstract

The chapter contrasts the 'democracy of opinions' with the 'democracy of procedures', using the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, as a pivotal event. It argues that the incident highlights the tension between these two democratic models, with the 'democracy of opinions' focusing on the will of the people and the 'democracy of procedures' emphasizing fair and structured political processes. The author delves into the historical roots of these concepts, drawing on the works of thinkers like Max Weber and Carl Schmitt. The chapter also discusses the implications of these models for contemporary politics, suggesting that a procedural approach can help mitigate the polarization and simplification of political choices. By exploring these ideas, the chapter invites readers to reconsider the foundations of democratic governance and the role of political processes in shaping society.
