Deformacje. Polityka a gradacja istnienia
Deformations. The Gradual Abatement of Political Existence

Summary/Abstract: Aristotle posed a question concerning conditions of good government and, consequently, good citizen. It gave a rise to disquisitions about taxonomy of good and corrupted governments. An issue of political corruption and deforming forces rose to the theoretical dimension. In modernity a problem became a legitimate question having brought forth after a series of historical events that put into doubt a political existence of several polities. Thus, a question of deformation became an acute political issue under pressure of internal and external conflicts disrupting the political order. The deformation took shape of severe political crises, civil wars, secessions, the falling states. And even, as in a case of the Polish Commonwealth, after the Polish Republic was partitioned by neighbors: absolutist monarchies of Russia, Prussia and the Hapsburg Empire, it led to the political non-existence, An article considers the problem of deformation as entering in a domain of social practices, political theory, and consequently metaphysics. Particularly interesting is to explain the ontic status of political non-existence.
