Summary/Abstract: Modern civilization changes have pointed out the necessity of redefinition of basic mechanisms that create the public space. When it comes to defining problems, the first idea generally, is to announce „the end” of certain values. So as it is claimed, there has already been the end of the history and the end of human. We are also experiencing the end of politics at the moment. However, the praxis sphere cannot disappear. It is the sphere of human activity that politics belong to. In this context, the necessity of arranging and organizing the public space would not also disappear. New standards for political actions are desirable. There is a new model of power, a new model of society, a new model of communication and a new model of symbolic narration and role of the politician – hypocrite. What is more, reflection upon reality determines the nature of changes and supports creating process of political tools, identification of new, political rationality – based on its well known standards. The article is an attempt to pre-reflection indicating a need for recognition of the present, methateoretical, broad contexts, as well as combining the past and present experiences.
