Summary/Abstract: Politics and political power are often connected with rational activity aspiring towards a rational organization of the human community, with institutions representing rules for political and social actions and a state with whose assistance its functioning is made legal and legitimate. They are also inseparable from public representation of different interests of community members in the process of conscious creation of history and the organization of relations between people and the environment. In the work the author wishes to point out the importance of politics as the social activity which, in contrast to rational activities of the ancient polis society, has gradually separated itself from society, and especially in the era of modernity, has imposed itself as a force above society, a mere political power.
