Summary/Abstract: The author has undertaken the effort of making a review of the development of political philosophy in Serbia in the last half century. Given that such a review does not exist, this attempt starts from the definition of political philosophy as a discipline and its separation from political science, political theory and practical politics. Then, based on criteria obtained in that way, he proceeds by making a list of the most important authors and works, which has to result with the development of a basic canon of political philosophy in Serbia. Author starts with Marxist philosophers, and then he explores renewal of liberalism, to end with the recent development of the discipline in the last two decades. In the second part of this article, three books that were written as a political philosophy textbooks, are being thoroughly studied and critiseized.
