History of political doctrines – between description and metapolitics
Jacek Bartyzel
Abstract
The subject of the article is the development of a scientific discipline which was created in the mid-19th century and which appears under the name of the history of political doctrines (or ideas). A point of departure here is a positivistic model of this science at first being the history of great philosophical and political systems. Then,other points of view are presented taking into account various ways of articulation of political ideas and their symbolization – not only systemic and even not only verbal ones. The revision of the main attitudes referring to the problem of demarcation of the scope of such concepts of political thought as doctrine, ideology and political philosophy. Finally, the significance of the conception defined as ‘metapolitical’ (through the analogy to ‘metaphysics’), that is, the one combining ‘pure’ theory with the task to establish axiological paradigm of the function which politics should serve, is emphasized.
