Professor G.L. Seidler’s Approach to the State Authority

Abstract

The main thesis put forward by the author of the present article is that in his analysis of the issue of the State authority, Professor Seidler indicated that, irrespective of various possible approaches, in each case its essence was the idea of acceptance. Moreover, the author arrives at the conclusion that Professor Seidler, combining the legitimisation of the State authority with its acceptance by the governed while at the same time applying the tools of contemporary democracy, attempted to develop a model that would constitute a kind of synthesis of two categories of the legitimisation of the State authority – the normative and the social and ideological ones.
