Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to selected aspects of the concept of socio-political life, as emerging from the texts by authors affiliated with the Centre for Political Thought. It addresses some issues related to how these authors understand the State, and also discusses suggested reforms of the State, the limits of liberal democracy, and the relation between the State and civil society. Next, the paper goes on to discuss the views of the Centre for Political Thought authors on certain participants in public life: political parties and the media. Authors affiliated with the Centre are highlighting the need for strong State institutions that will be capable of pursuing specific policies. They are also stressing how important it is to develop such a governance model that could capture the essence of and define how to organise the Polish political community in such a way as to make it a value in itself for the citizens.
