POLITICAL WORLD AND PHILOSOPHY OF POLITICS

Ante Pažanin ; emeritus professor at the University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author looks into how much, in today’s world, the tradition
of the philosophy of politics and its reactualization via the contemporary political philosophy as the phenomenology of the political world can help us in illuminating the efforts to designate the concept of the political suitable for the modern phenomena. Using the ideas of Hannah Arendt and Rüdiger Bubner, the author outlines some subjects and interpretations that are worthy of the rehabilitation and the reactualization of the concept of the political and its understanding that befits the historical being. The central hypothesis in this analysis of the concept of the political is that these fundamental insights and the overall theory of diverse scientific disciplines should not be left exclusively to individual sciences and their specialists, especially since
the fundamental knowledge of politics and practical philosophy cannot
be left to political science as a separate political science i.e. the
science of politics should not be defined only positivistically.

Keywords
