Abstract

Straipsnyje pateikiama fundamentalių ontologinių politinio pasaulio principų filosofinė analizė. Autorius susitelkia į tris pagrindinius politiškumo raiškos būdus: (i) antagonistinį, kuris pateikiamas per draugo ir priešo santykius; (ii) agonistinį, kuriuo politika atsiskleidžia kaip varžybos tarp skirtingų ideologijų ir pozicijų; ir (iii) įsivaiduojamą ir simbolinį, kuris pasirodo kaip tvirtas politikos ir socialinių kultūrinių aplinkybių ryšys. Šie politiškumo pasireiškimai dažnai būna susipynę ir įkūnija trimatį politinio pasaulio modelį, grindžiantį santykių ir politinių veiksmų tinklą.

  • The three-dimensional model of the political world I am trying to present in the article shows typology of the political, which pays attention to the most fundamental manifestations of this phenomenon

Summary

The Political as Antagonistic

The first dimension of the political world represents the political as antagonistic. The antagonistic dimension reaches ontology of the political world and represents the fundamental distinction between genuine and non-genuine forms of political existence. Direction and projection of the changes caused by the conflicts have political meaning that some actors often seek to actualize and use for implementation of their political plans to reformat or destroy (as in the case of revolutions) existing political order This kind of “antagonistic optimism” as a theoretical position in social science should not be accepted as a universal approach. According to Schmitt, a distinction that exactly expresses the essence of the political is the opposition between friend and enemy It makes possible the creation of the highest form of solidarity of the people and provides a ground of the existence of the political world. We can state that political topography is formed by the intertwining common places based on friendship
