The book presents a collection of articles authored by several members of the Warsaw School of Political Theory, affiliated with the University of Warsaw. The team of scholars, whose roots extend to the 1970s when professor Artur Bodnar founded the Political Theory Research Group at University of Warsaw’s Methodical Centre for Political Science (COM SNP), has been conducting research under the leadership of professor Miros³aw Karwat. The school’s most distinguishing features include: the acceptance of the directives and principles of methodological holism, the acceptance and creative development of holistic integral definitions, the application of sociocentric spatial analyses, and a critical approach to the “cratocentric” tradition.

Mirosław Karwat is Professor of Humanities at the University of Warsaw. His research focuses on political science, political theory and social engineering. Filip Pierzchalski is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Warsaw. His current research interests are political theory and political leadership. Marcin Tobiasz – Ph.D. in Political Science, research fellow at the University of Warsaw. His research interests are democratic theory and political pluralism.
