Summary/Abstract: The aims of the paper are: outlining the perspec- tives for common scientific research between political theorists and legal theorists; presenting theses and postulates in favor of closer cooperation of these two groups of scholars; as well as initiating a debate within political science and legal science communities in this matter. The article provides clear answer to the question: Political theory and legal theory – together or separately? The prob- lem expressed in this question is significant and deserves extensive discussion of representatives of the two scientific subdisciplines. Broad traditions of common theoretical research, on one hand, and contemporary challenges, on the other, provide many arguments in favor of restoration of research cooperation.
