Citizencracy as a result of the restoration of civic society.

Article discusses the various arguments and against the proposal and acceptance of a new terminological innovation, proposed by the author. Such innovation concerns a new notion in the terminology of both sociology and political science: the concept of citizencracy and its derivatives such as citizencrat, citizencratic. Author argues that the concept of citizencracy expresses more accurately and adequately, what is after the fall of communism and promotion of the restoration of civic society traditionally called the necessity of the restoration of democracy. The concept of democracy is usually criticised for being a legacy of the post-feudal thought: it is the "power of the people" as set against "the power of the feudal aristocracy". Such antinomy leads per analogiam to the understanding of the democracy as the "power of the proletariat" in contrast to the undemocratic "power of the bourgeoisie". However it is not at all the case with the concept of citizencracy that does not stand only against the particular form of civilisation deficit but also against any civilisation deficit in general, Proposed innovative perspective shall not lead to the discarding of the term of democracy from the social scientific dictionary. On contrary, citizencracy comprises traditional democracy as its historical condition, as its logical basis, though it adds something "extra" to the original concept of democracy. This "extra" appears to be equal to the feature pointed out by the Polish sociologist Jerzy Szacki in his analysis of the resources of the renaissance of the idea of civic society. Citizencracy deepens and develops the traditionally pursued democracy acid enhances it to the higher developmental stage.
