Abstract

The author gave reasons for the basis of theoretical analysis of modern democracy as a meeting of rational and irrational aspects. The author argues for the separation of institutionalisation component of democracy that grants rationality to the structures and processes of democratic systems. Irrational in democracy refers to the phenomenon of cultural order: political will, faith and trust. Results show an interdependency between rational and irrational in specific political phenomena and events of today.
