The renewal of aristocratic principles.
The term of "aristocracy" has always risen various questions, such as its real meaning, its role, its types, its purposes, who composes aristocracy, etc. In this text, I have tried to give my point of view to those questions, not only in a historical and traditional line of development, but also applied to present systems, relations and sets of values. I have differentiated two types of aristocracy, so called "aristocracy of soul" and "aristocracy of property" and decsribed main features. Furthermore, there is a view to traditional role of aristocracy, its principles and laws of existence, together with its dangers. Based on those categories, further direction of development leads to the questions of aristocracy in democratic societies with all the contemporary "specificum". The last part deals with the matter of aristocracy in regard to politics and its wide range of application.
