A standardok problémája a realista politikaelméletben
The Problem of Standards in the Realist Theory of Politics

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to contribute to the debate about the role of distinction between moral and political standards. Many argue that political realism is based on an anti-moralist position (while others think that realism is about anti-utopianism or anti-idealism). However, as the paper asserts, there is no commonly accepted defi nition of anti-moralism in the realist literature. Actually there are at least two different types of realist anti-moralism: a Hobbesian and a Machiavellian one, but some authors try to fi nd a middle-way between these mainstream approaches. The paper shows that, for example, Andrew Sabl’s Aristotelian-Ciceronian theory of “democratic constancy” is a viable alternative to the two mainstream versions of realist anti-moralism.
