Abstract

Ideological and utopian discourses represent an important part of both cultural and political life. However, it is impossible to imagine these discourses outside of political reality, which, one way or another, is reflected in the meta-narrative. The article deals with political writings as the main carriers of political and legal information about the state structure, political regime and other issues related to the «political». In such works one can find exactly the primary source - ideology or utopia. In this case, the author agrees with the concept of K. Mannheim, in which the differences between these two concepts were first pointed out. Ideology and utopia represent precisely the content of any political essay. The goal was to show that regardless of whether ideology is present in a political essay, or utopia, it still represents social reality through political concepts. The author came to the conclusion that the political and ideological component of any political text is culturally mediated and shows to some extent real social relations, however, with the caveat that the creator of the text sees the political and legal reality subjectively, through the prism of his life and political experience.
