The purpose of this study is to identify the functions of the concept of the political and to demonstrate its heuristic potential. The paper examines the concept of the political in its associative and dissociative interpretations. The phenomenon of the existence of the political and its dependence on the modern understanding of society is considered. Using M. Foucault's work, heuristic potential of the political is shown.
