Summary/Abstract: Due to the multiplicity of meanings given to the terms ‘political thought’, ‘philosophy’, and ‘polit-ical theology’, it becomes necessary to establish possible relationships between them. The text makes such an attempt based on the suggestion that, first of all, it is necessary to take into account the different meanings given to politics (under-stood as knowledge or practice) and the political (defined by the search for a common solution, and perhaps even for the common good, or by the struggles of various actors or political players to impose solutions protecting someone’s partic-ular interests). The historical background of the argument contains references to old, even ancient, approaches, but essentially, it has an introductory value, illustrating the complexity of the analysed issues.
