Summary/Abstract: It is evident that there is a great number of philosophical-political paradigms existing in contemporary political theory and practice. Each of the paradigms (liberal, radical, conservative, socialist) has certain advantages but also certain dangers. The author argues that their synthesis is necessary if they are to be applied to the present social moment in Serbia. The process of social transformation is specific for every country and each of them ought to find its own model in approaching it. It is the intention of this article to explore a possible synthesis of political paradigms and to propose a way of their merger. Liberal paradigm will, first of all, be taken into consideration, as well as the conservative and contemporary socialist (socialdemocratic) philosophical-political paradigms. The possibility of joining them together will also be taken into account.
