Beginning with the sources of the dispute over the meaning of the modern democratic ideal, this article shows two opposing, anthropological positions (constrained and unconstrained anthropology) present in the European political tradition, founding two differing content-wise, yet similar understandings of democracy. Against this intellectual background, the author discusses the thesis that with the negation of the objective nature of moral norms and the sanctioning of so-called morality policies, the modern, post-World War II model of democracy founded on constrained anthropology is heading towards its decline
