abstract = { Long term comparative studies on the specificity of the multifaceted character of politics, politicization and politicality – entailing both political thought of various ideological currents and thus diff erent axiological interpretations, and also fundamental political notions – should aim to formulate general statements earning the status of significant explanatory and nomological conclusions, which are instrumental in creating specific political theories. Comparative experience in nomological explanation of political phenomena and processes, and also various idiosyncrasies of politicality should enable a political ideation that would contribute to a creative expression of theoretical statements in terms of regularities understood in a probabilistic sense, referring to broadly-understood politics, verifiable in constantly-changing social and political circumstances. It is recommended that eff orts to formulate an optimally adequate conceptual paradigm in terms of theory of politics are intensified. As a result, there would appear various proposals of a theory of politics that would correspond to socio-political reality, the theory that should be complementary to numerous sub-fields in political science. Their exponents can express, to a greater or lesser extent, a wish to formulate observations that will become statements with a status similar to that of theoretical ones, which are complementary to investigations and explanations in the area of broadly-understood political research. },
