IS EXPERT POWER A POWER?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article presented below is to discuss one of main topics of contemporary political philosophy, i.e. the status of expert power. Origins of this problem are connected with Plato’s Republic and Laws: especially I think about the role of king-philosopher and „Nocturnal Court” from Laws. But, in modern times the intellectual and political role of experts is not to overestimate and consequently we have many theories of “power from authority” (Wrong, Wartenberg). In this short study the thesis is has been given about: power of experts is strictly not a power but only “resource” of power and is in relationship to it as neoscholastic potency to actus. It has been proved with testimonia from Aristotelian Metaphysics and dramaturgical sections of Poetics.
