The changing traditional theoretical framework questions the legitimacy of traditional political practices, the legitimacy of institutions, goals and subjects of the political process. Based on the ideas of I. Wallerstein, we are making attempts to “feel the elephant” of political reflection on the dramatically changing political reality.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Редакция представляет номер, посвященный анализу проблемы исчерпания традиционного эвристического потенциала политического знания, включая понятия, теоретико-методологические подходы, идейные акценты. Политическая турбулентность стала катализатором изменения предметного поля политической науки и ее эпистемологических установок. Изменение традиционных теоретических рамок ставит вопрос о правомерности традиционных политических практик, легитимности институтов, целей и субъектов политического процесса. Отталкиваясь от идей И. Валлерстайна, мы предпринимаем попытки демонстрации теоретических возможностей и ограничений политической рефлексии о драматически изменяющейся политической реальности.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political theory</kwd><kwd>methodology of political science</kwd><kwd>scientific approach</kwd><kwd>civilizational approach</kwd><kwd>the end of the Western-centrist linear meta-narrative</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политическая теория</kwd><kwd>методология политической науки</kwd><kwd>научный подход</kwd><kwd>цивилизационный подход</kwd><kwd>конец западноцентристского линейного метанарратива</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Berger, P.L.
