Summary/Abstract: This short essay deals with some particularities of the notion of interests, more precisely the status of interests in a socio (-political) entity. In this sense, the author tries to, starting from some features of interest relations and political ideas make objective the interests by means of abstract statements of the position of a social strata and concrete features of a changeable (or termed as changeable) political situation in which certain interest basis transforms into a articulated interest. In this way, the author tries to — more or less — eliminate from the interest analysis the subjective need — and is of the opinion that such an analysis cannot be consequent enough if it is based on the notion of interest as an „conscious need”. Finally, the author tries to point out another imperative basis of interest analysis — the general interest, on one side, as an interest formulation of a (contradictory) community, and on the other, as a general legitimation pattern.
