Summary/Abstract: Politics is one of the most popular forms of human activity, but when we ask about its nature we are unable to give an unambiguous answer. The article presents assorted conception of politics, spanning from the most dramatic ones, which associate it with violence, to liberal ones that perceive in politics predominantly dialogue and consensus. There is only one conclusion to be drawn from this survey: we are unable to define what politics consists of and are doomed to doubts and understatement. On the other hand, we cannot stop talking about politics in view of the fact that it is an inalienable element of human existence.
