The discipline Political philosophy belongs to the list of compulsory educational disciplines, taught in the 1st semester of the master's degree for the amount of 4 credits. Political philosophy appears as a normative teaching that determines the directions of improvement of social life by political means on reflexively defined value bases. The history of the development of political philosophy through the formation of the main modern political ideologies is conceptualized. At the same time, essential mutually conditioned connections between liberalism and conservatism, nationalism and social democracy, theories of political emancipation of various origins and technocratism and elitism as ideologues were revealed. The postmodern use of ideologies creates the illusion of their fluidity, but hybrid ideologies like anarcho-capitalism are extremely unstable and unsustainable - they exist only thanks to their inexhaustible proteism - when instead of a real answer to social problems, only another transformation of the ideology itself is proposed. Symbolic revolutions should lead to real changes under the influence of these semantic and value updates, and if this does not happen, then instead of a symbolic revolution we get only simulacra and imitation of the work of the public imagination.
