Abstract
POLITICAL FRIENDSHIP AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE
POLITICAL
The article is devoted to the problem of definition of the concept of the
political on the basis of relations between friend and enemy. Such
definition of the political we can find in C. Schmitt’s political philosophy
and H. Plessner’s philosophical anthropology. Although this definition
mostly pays attention to the antagonistic dimension of the political
world, we need to understand an essence of the political friendship.
Thus author analyzes different conceptions of the political friendship
that have been presented in the works of Aristotle, J. Derrida, H. Arendt.
Political friendship is recognized as basis for the creation a political
community and for the existence of the political world.
