The lecture addresses the concept of political philosophy and its associated problems, particularly regarding the naming of the discipline and its relationship to philosophy. It emphasizes the necessity of grounding the discussion in a philosophical discipline rather than relying solely on linguistic usage or the historical concept of the polis, which requires reinterpretation. The relationship between philosophical politics and political philosophy, along with the challenges of defining the political, are discussed. A key theme is the question of the whole and the integrity of the polis, stemming from Aristotle's notion of man as a political animal. Aristotle's concept of the polis as a natural formation and its shift from Heraclitus's view are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the contingent, rather than natural, character of the community, which is established by law (nomos), not nature (physis). The community is not a true being but a construct, implying a rejection of organic conceptions of society. Furthermore, the lecture delves into the distinction between humans as subjects and the community as a whole, and the need to broaden the concept of the polis.
