Democracy as a Verb: New Meditations on the Yugoslav Praxis Philosophy.

The paper discusses the intellectual legacy of praxis philosophy which, with its new reading of Marx, spread its range beyond the narrow parameters established in the fourth chapter of the History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks). The paper addresses the question of the state and the perspective of democracy through the categories and concepts of praxis philosophy and concludes that understanding democracy in terms of praxis—as a free and creative activity in everyday life—and not as a prefabricated institutional design, leads to the negation of the present thesis on the crisis of democracy.
