The Confrontation of Political Affair with Human and Power in the Contemporary West

“Political Affair” is a contradictory concept; the emerged challenges in examining the interrelationship of “human” and “politics” - in the contemporary West - have made this contradictory more and more. The current paper addresses the question what feedback do human and power (as a double-sided political affair) produce in different positions of the West’s sociopolitical ideologies. In this paper we will critique the contrasting relationships between the political affair and the political human and offer a new look at the issue. In this regard, we find three human: dangerous, neutral and active that have passed Hobbes’ “natural state”, Rousseau’s “civil state”, and tended to Schmidt’s “moral state”. The ambiguous future of our moral state implies that the returned human has only an ambiguous definition of an active moral man.
