The main problem of the research is the reason why the existence of the republic in the conditions of modern ideological and theoretical foundations of the society of individual consumerism faces the impossibility of achieving the common good as the goal-setting of a common cause. The study traces the ontology of the republic in the political thought of ancient philosophers, medieval thinkers and modern representatives of Western political theory. The central role, in this sense, is played by Christianity, which for many centuries has been a systematic representation of the essence of the common good. In the conditions of modern Western society, it has ceased to be a transcendent system of values, giving way to relativistic concepts that are unable to act as a foundation for social harmony. The author comes to the conclusion that the modern era has led to the deprivation of the republic of goal-setting, replacing the collective essence of society with the individual egoism of a citizen, while postmodernism, rejecting any form of collective self-identification of a person, deprives him of the opportunity to act as a citizen.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Автор анализирует развитие политико-философской концепции республики как общего дела в условиях трансформации ценностной системы западного общества. Основной проблемой исследования являются причины, по которым существование республики в условиях современных идейно-теоретических основ общества индивидуального потребления сталкивается с невозможностью достижения общего блага как целеполагания общего дела. Исследование прослеживает онтологию республики в политической мысли античных философов, средневековых мыслителей и современных представителей западной политической теории. Центральную роль в данном смысле играет христианство, которое долгие столетия являло собой системное представление о сущности общего блага. В условиях же современного западного общества оно перестало быть трансцендентной системой ценностей, уступив место релятивистским концепциям, неспособным выступать в роли фундамента для общественного согласия. Автор приходит к заключению, что эпоха модерна привела к лишению республики целеполагания, заменив коллективную сущность общества индивидуальным эгоизмом гражданина, в то время как постмодерн, отвергая любую форму коллективной самоидентификации человека, лишает его уже возможности выступать в роли гражданина.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>republicanism</kwd><kwd>Christianity</kwd><kwd>common good</kwd><kwd>political culture</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>республиканизм</kwd><kwd>христианство</kwd><kwd>общее благо</kwd><kwd>политическая культура</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">Alekseeva, T.A.
