This paper discusses the signifi cance of a notion of “populism” for social philosophy based on the work of Ernesto Laclau. The fi rst part of the essay presents the background of Laclau’s theory, i.e. the studies of Le Bon, Gabriel Tarde, William McDougall and Sigmund Freud – their relations to the social practice and their theoretical consequences. The second part deals with the theory of populism of Ernesto Laclau. In accordance with the conception of Laclau, populism is described as a logic of the political. The last part takes into consideration the context of Laclau’s conception and asks if and how we can use “populism” as a descriptive category and not as the normative one. The thesis of the paper is that Laclau’s theory is useful for describing the politics and social movements in Poland in last fi ve years.
