Interests and Politics

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the most, influential concepts of interests — the individualistic-liberalistic, the group-pluralistic and Marx ’ concept — is taken as a point of departure for the author’s own suggested outline of different concepts of interests in the socialist society. They are: (1) the monistic concept of interests, which is founded on the denial of any difference between the state and the society and on the indisputable supremacy of the -common interest over particular and individual interests; (2) the participataonal-consultative concept of interests, resulting from the abandonment of the concept of the identity of the state and the society and from the recognition, in addition to the objective and the common interests, also of subjective and particular interests, albeit with only a limited institutional acknowledgment of the latter; (3) the self -management-pluralistic concept of interests, which postulates a pluralistic interest structure of the society, radicalizes the difference between the state and the society, but also requires a fundamental restructuring of both spheres of the life of the community.
