Summary/Abstract: The present study trys a correlated definition of the politic and of politics. The main hypothesis asserts that the political organisation comes from the way individuals lead themselves. This hypothesis is verified through the supposition of the originar experience of antropology: the meeting with the other one. As the same times trough this experience are pointed out the basic suppositions in the field of antropology as well. The most important of these suppositions sees man as a neutral material modelled by tradition and culture. This modelling refers to each individual’s rapport with himself and his relationship with the others, not to the so called biological data. The conclusions underline not only the difficulties the political anthropology has to overcome, but also all the so called humanities sciences, to be called sciences in the proper meaning of the word.
