Pseudoautorytet zdemaskowany
The pseudo-authority exposed

Summary/Abstract: The undertaken analyses enter the philosophical debate about authority with elucidating the phenomenon of pseudo-authority. The first part of reflections shows for what reasons the exposition of pseudo-authority is a justified acting: pseudo-authority is a hindrance for the personal development of man. The second part concentrates on factors which make possible the distinction between authority and pseudo-authority: applied coercion, manipulated truth, and immorality. The last part tends to reveal reasons which enable pseudo-authorities to be accepted in the culture: the immaturity of man, the deficiency of mass-media, and the impact of pressure groups.
