Summary/Abstract: The article states that the interpretative approach is universal in political sciences, and especially in political theory. This universality of interpretative approach exists on both objects and meta-object levels. The object level is developed in empirical and normative-hermeneutics approaches. The meta-object level relates to determinants of theories: ontology (philosophy), axiology, theoretical approaches, ideologies. Further, the analysis focuses on reconstructive approach, when the object is both political thought and social phenomenon. In the last part, the author analyses reconstruction in anthropology of dignity approach which is a contemporary variant of personalist approach.
