Summary/Abstract: The notion of democracy as the ontological premise of the social being is one of the main themes in the contemporary reception of Spinoza’s political philosophy. The article presented below is an attempt to explain the ontological dimension of democracy in Spinoza’s thought. The Spinozist approach towards democracy is confronted here with Hobbes’ view on democracy – by this juxtaposition I want to show how the question of the democratic foundation has constituted one of the most important discrepancies of modern political discourse.
