Hipokryzja i narracja symboliczna w polityce

Abstract

Modern civilization changes point to the necessity of redefining basic mechanisms which shape the public sphere. Usually, the first tendency to solve definition problems is to announce an end. Thus, we have seen the end of history, the end of man, and now also the end of politics. However, there cannot disappear the sphere of praxis, which includes politics. Neither will disappear the necessity of ordering and organizing the public sphere, for which politics is responsible. It is necessary, however, to find new models for political action. We have a new model of government, a new model of society, a new model of communication, and thus also a new model of symbolic narration and playing the role of a hypocritical politician. Reflection on the changing reality serves to determine the nature of changes. This contributes to shaping the necessary political tools and identifying new political rationality, which nonetheless does not give up its well-tried models. The article is a preliminary attempt to show the necessity of considering the present time in broad meta-theoretical contexts, and of combining past and present experiences.
