Summary/Abstract: This text reflects on the book written by Milorad Stupar, Political Philoso-phy. Based on the perspectives given in Stupar’s book, the author’s intention is to illustrate the problems regarding certain topics such as: citizenship, the dispute about the nature of Hobbes’s philosophy, as well as social, political and historical background of Kant’s political philosophy. The article points at dilemmas related to the meaning of citizenship in modern states, to the compatibility between absolutism and certain elements of liberalism in Hobbes’s work, and to the possible reconstruc-tion of the context within which Kant produced his last works.
