TI - Deformations. The Gradual Abatement of Political Existence
AB - 
	Aristotle posed a question concerning conditions of good government and, consequently, good citizen. It gave a rise to disquisitions about taxonomy of good and corrupted governments. An issue of political corruption and deforming forces rose to the theoretical dimension. In modernity a problem became a legitimate question having brought forth after a series of historical events that put into doubt a political existence of several polities. Th us, a question of deformation became an acute political issue under pressure of internal and external conflicts disrupting the political order. Th e deformation took shape of severe political crises, civil wars, secessions, the falling states. And even, as in a case of the Polish Commonwealth, after the Polish Republic was partitioned by neighbors: absolutist monarchies of Russia, Prussia and the Hapsburg Empire, it led to the political non-existence, An article considers the problem of deformation as entering in a domain of social practices, political theory, and consequently metaphysics. Particularly interesting is to explain the ontic status of political non-existence.
