Summary/Abstract: The article attempts at reinterpreting thought of Stanisław Brzozowski as early philosophy of the political, as seen in post-structuralist political thought. The Polish thinker has faced the particular political situation of the Polish Kingdom in the early 20th century and dealt conceptually with impossibility of unproblematic political representation. Therefore, along with his heterodoxical, anti-ontological and praxistic Marxism, he also undertook the issue of construction of political subjectivities and engaged with groundless thinking not referring to any ultimate, stable ratio of class or nation. To put a long story short, he wrestled, and partially successfully ‘thought through’ the “moments of the political”, i.e. the radical contingency of the social fi eld.
