Abstracts

EN

The article discusses four facets of the subject of legitimacy. The first issue concerns the understanding of the concept of legitimacy. The Author opts for a definition which treats 'belief in legitimacy' (Legitimitätsglaube) as central for the whole concept and regards legitimacy as a 'popular philosophy of power'. The second issue deals with the Weberian type of legal-rational legitimacy. Following Mommsen the Author proposes to treat substantive and procedural brands of democracy as separate sub-types of legal-rational legitimacy. The third issue concerns the inclusion of views on the economic system as part of beliefs about state legitimacy (which was not explicitly stated by Weber). Finally, the fourth postulates introducing to academic discourse national-democratic legitimacy as a significant form of justification of a political system. The final part of the paper discusses, quite extensive, many specific details of the typology suggested by the Author.
