The course is devoted to the issue of political ideologies. It focuses on the three historically most important ideologies of today, which shape the character of politics (liberalism, conservatism, socialism). In addition, it emphasizes the introduction of newer ideological trends (feminism, environmentalism) and the question of the decline in the meanings of ideologies in today's world. The emphasis is placed not only on the basic ideological principles of individual ideologies, but also on mutual relations and conflicts, as well as on the historical, social and cultural circumstances of their origin.
