	The ideology and political practise of Solidarity and republican tradition

	The paper argues that – regardless of neo-Marxist inspirations – many views of Václav Havel, Adam Michnik, or Jacek Kuroń on civil society bear a surprising resemblance to political philosophy of Aristotle or Cicero. This, in turn, makes it possible to argue that Havel’s concept of “anti-political politics” is not anti-political at all but to the contrary – political par excellence, if only one adopts a sourcing understanding of politics characteristic for classical republican tradition. Moreover, those republican traces are especially well-visible in both the structure and the way of operating of Polish Solidarity movement.
