METAGOODS, METAVALUES AND METANORMS IN POLITICS

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes a metaaxiological political framework, which is the ground for the thesis that the central idea that underlies politics is well-being and its improvement. Every political activity relies on certain goods, values and standards forming its opera-tional framework. The aim and essence of politics is to ensure the realization of consti-tutive values. These values include the normative concept of the human being and con-stitutive values underpinning the functioning of the state and political community (i.e. good life, justice, freedom, security, peace, identity, unity, rule of law, representation, sovereignty, legitimacy). On the one hand, the normative values represent preconditions that have to be present in every political sphere. On the other, they serve as ideals pur-sued by states and political systems. They are investigated by means of normative typo-logical categories.
