Abstract

In the article the basic methodological issues of Aristotle to political organization of society are analyzed in the context of problems of political development in XXI century. Is given the substantiation of perspectives of personalısm as paradigm of sociocultural development of modern epoch. The major theses of Aristotle concept are defined. The central idea of his political philosophy was the idea of thelos, in accordance with which every thing contains not only static essence but also that, in what it can to develop potentially (≪natural destiny≫ or ≪thelos≫). The second major thesis in the political views of Aristotle is his teaching about a public benefit. The third major thesis – thesis about that the society must not submit blindly to any casual forms of rule, but tirelessly must search the politia, its unique form of political organization which can answer to thelos of this society, indissolubly related with the idea of benefit. These three Aristotelian principles are extraordinarily actual as possible imperative of political life in XXI century. All of it conduces to that the banner of XXI century would be not dying off ideologies of socialism, liberalism or nationalism. They are more and more actively ousted by the global ideology of personal self-realization, ideology of personalism. After two with a half thousand years in a radically new global situation and in a fantastically new information-technological interior we go back to the great wisdom of Protagoras: A ≪man is the measure of all of things≫ – to that wisdom which was incarnated to the political ideas of Aristotle.
