1. Theme №2: the Basic stages of a political science becoming

2. The aim: Acquaintance with the basic stages of development of a political idea in the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, a political idea of Middle Ages and the development of political idea during an epoch of New time. To consider a number of concepts of that time. For-example, the theory of the public right, the natural contract and division of authorities.

3. The plan and theses of lectures:

1. A political idea of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome (Platon, Aristotel, Цицерон).

2. A political idea of Middle Ages (Augustine, Avreliy, F. Akvinsky, M. Luther).

3. A political idea of an epoch of Education.

Considering the first question it is necessary to begin from studying sights of the greatest representatives of the philosophicaly-ethical concept – they are Platon and Aristotel as philosophers-encyclopaedists.

Platon (427-347. B.C.) is the founder of philosophical school in Athens, his works: "State", "Politician", "Laws". For example, in "State" Platon creates the sample of the ideal state, which will have all things arranged fairly. And there are three beginnings - reasonable, furious and leadering in human soul, corresponding to three similar beginnings of the state-consultative, protective, business which, in turn, correspond three estates-governors, soldiers, manufacturers. Thus, each beginning should be engaged in the business and not interfere with another matters.

Platon gave huge value to forms of board, allocating as correct, so wrong forms. To correct he carried a monarchy, aristocracy and democracy on the basis of laws, and to wrong - tyranny, oligarchy, democracy without laws. Platon considers aristocracy as the board noble, and democracy during decline of the state can lead to tyranny.

Aristotel has given the characteristic to forms of a state system. He wrote, that at correct forms of a state system governors mean the general useful, and at incorrect -the personal blessing. The great attention he gave to questions of the right, considered him, as the law, the political phenomenon. Aristotel wrote: «Governors, even the best governors, are subject to feelings and affects, as for the law – it is the counterbalanced reason. Aristotel’s ideas are actual till now.

Studying of the second question is connected with an epoch of the Middle Ages, namely with becoming two models of authority and statehood: divine and secular. Great representatives of the religious concept are sights of August Blazheniy (354-430гг.), stated in the composition «the Hailstones Divine» and of Foma Akvinsky (1225-1274гг), stated in works « the Sum of divinity », «About board of sovereigns », etc. Their ideas are the sample of Christian scholasticism. But it is necessary to note that the Christianity promoted to humanization of a political idea, has impregnated it with ideas of morals, proclaiming norms of a life mercy and equality. And also the Christian outlook has changed attitudes between the state and the person.

The political idea of the Muslim world in the middle Ages developed with influence of an Islam. Originally representations about the device of a society developed according to the Koran and Sunna, that is, the main sacred books of Moslems. But with occurrence in an Islam of two currents (Sunnism and Shiism) there were distinctions in understanding of authority and ways of its realization.

In Sunnism’s representation the political life of Moslems develops within the limits of the state named khalifat. Such state is headed by caliph and the representatives of Muslim communities electing and supervising caliph. Shiits treat the state as imamates which is headed by the imam- the representative of the Allah on the earth. Therefore the authority of the imam is divine and unlimited.

3 question. It is necessary to begin with the brief characteristic of Renaissance with its representatives: N.Makjyavelly, Z.Boden, T.Moor who have prepared beginning of new ideas during an epoch of Education and New time. Then consider a number of concepts of this time, for-example, the theory of the public right, the natural contract and division of authorities.

The great interest is represented with the theory of the public contract. Its basis is the statement about the state and legitimate authority results from the voluntary agreement of free people to live together and to submit laws. The main ideologists of this direction are T.Gobbs (1588-1679гг.) and Zh.Russo (1712-1778).

The remarkable political thinker of this epoch is S. Montesquieu who has stated the ideas in work: « the Persian letters », « About spirit of laws », etc. Montesquieu wrote, that occurrence of the state is connected with the advent of a private property. In Montesquieu opinion the political freedom may be in the state, where all attitudes are regulated by the right, where laws dominate over governors will, and where there is a division of authorities in the state.

The political idea of New time is full a variety. At this time there were various ideological currents: conservatism, liberalism, socialism. Conservatism has arisen in the Europe in the end of XVIII century and the beginning of XIX century. Conservatives called for restoration of a monarchy and revival of values feudal-aristocratic system. Conservatism supports to safe development of a society as the separate person, so all society. Conservatives consider the private property as a basis of economic power of the state. The state should not interfere with relations of the property.

Liberalism as ideology has been directed on creation of necessary sociopolitical conditions for intensive development of capitalism. Liberalists proved the rights and freedom, from a position of a personal freedom and an industrial competition. Among political doctrines of 19 centuries the visible place belongs to socialism. Wide popularity of this period had such thinkers as Sen-Simone, Charles Fure, Robert Ouen. The Marxism has arisen and extended in 19 century. K.Marx and F.Engels's basic idea is the results of internal development of capitalism narrow frameworks of class and national relations will be overcome, conditions for deliverance of the person will be created. One of conclusions of Marxism is that the way to a communistic society runs through a social revolution, that is, through the period of a sharp class antagonism. This revolutionary violence is inevitable, as the bourgeoisie will not give authority voluntary, so the proletariat should win it.

For example, authority are the relations, in which will and action of ones dominate over will and action of others. Political scientists consider political authority, that is authority above all society as a whole. All members of the society must submit to this authority , therefore political authority are the supreme form of authority.

The basic conceptions of authority are: teleologic, behaviors, psychological, low and other conceptions, which explain the nature authority’s beginning. Political authority is ability of the certain class or the big social group or the majority of the society, and also the organizations of individuals representing them, to spend the will in relation to other groups, separate individuals, to carry out the general interests and the purposes by violent and nonviolent means.

3. The plan and theses of lecture:

1. An origin and essence of the state.

2. Attributes of the state, its functions and aims.

3. Types of the state.

The term "state" has some meanings. So, in one case the state-is a country, society, people, located in the certain territory and represented by the higher government bodies. Other meaning of "state" – it is a set of the organizations and the establishments realizing power functions within the limits of certain territory, defining legislative and normative base of economic, political and other attitudes. Beginning of the states was promoted by various factors:

Public division of labour and allocation of administrative work in separate branch;
Private property, classes and operation appeared in process of public production;
Some peoples conquer others;
Geographical position, climatic conditions;
Growth of number and population density, transition of people from nomadic to a settled way of life, etc.

There are different approaches explaining the reasons of occurrence of the state in political science. So, according to the contract theory of the state, the main reason of the state creation is people having fear feeling before aggression from other people and fear for their life and property. Political anthropologists consider, that the state form of the society organization is in the human nature. It is necessary to pay attention also to the point of view of the German sociologist M. Weber, who believed, that definition of the state can be given, proceeding to specificity of the means applied by it for making its functions. On M. Weber’s opinion the state is the attitude of the people state above the people, basing on legitimate violence as means. »

Then it is necessary to allocate the states by forms of board and forms of a state system.

The management form -external expression of the state maintenance, caused by structure and a legal status of government bodies. Distinction between two basic management forms monarchy (absolute, constitutional) and republican (presidential, parliamentary) depends on position and character of the supreme government body.

The important role in understanding the nature of the state plays state territorial organization, policy-legal status of its components and interaction principles of the central, regional and local authorities. There are following types of the states, according to this criterion of classification, they are: unitary, federal and confederative.

3. The Plan and theses of lecture:

1. Concept of political parties. An origin and formation of parties.

2. Typology of parties and party systems.

3. Modern political movements, essence and versions.

It is possible to note presence of various approaches in understanding of essence of political party and huge variety of its{her} definitions. Basically, they are reduced to define parties:

a) As the group incorporated by the general ideological values;

b) As specific kind of the organization;

c) As most active part of the certain class or other social groups, representing their general interests;

d) As expressions of political conflict in a society and instruments of the decision of the concrete problems caused by it.

Developed definition of political party and its function gives R.Z.Shvartsenberg. He names following attributes of parties: long-term action; full-scale organization; aspiration to realization of authority; search of national support, especially by elections. So- definition « the Political party” - continuously operating organization existing as on national, so on local levels, aimed at reception and departure of authority and, aspiring with this purpose to national support. And now we shall pay attention to occurrence of modern parties. Modern parties have arisen in the Europe and America in 19 century. Occurrence of political parties is connected with introduction of the general suffrage, development of working class and appearing of class consciousness of colonial people. For example, in England parties have resulted from selective reform in 1832, in the USA parties have been organized in 30th 19c. At president Johnson, in France and others European countries-during revolution 1848, Russian social democratic party-1898, esser’s party -1902.

In variety of functions of modern political parties it is possible to allocate some general functions following from essence of social institute. The basic from these functions is revealing and expression in the general form and protection of interests of various social groups in political system. Other ones is not less significant, general function of parties is the development of ideologies and the political doctrines reflecting social interests of public groups, a formulation of rules of political tricks. In political science the various criteria of classification of political parties are offered. Depending on class character the party is divided on workers, bourgeois, country, etc. Depending on an ideological attribute differ revolutionary, reformist, conservative, pragmatical. Depending on a place borrowed in political system and a role which they play, they can be divided on ruling and oppositional, vanguard and parliamentary, parties of the selective companies, parties-clubs.
