Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of politics cannot be perceived by means of the methodological procedures of ontological-normative, analytical-empirical or dialectic-critical theory. The entire metaphysical idea is related to the central category of behaviour, which subsists on the primacy of theory over practice. The author attempts to deduce the destruction of the traditional notion of politics on the basis of the concept of communicative action which was first put forward by H. Arendt. The reconstruction of the original notion of politics is carried out by the author according to Kant's reflexive power of judgment.
