Abstract
This essay is dedicated to the study of «stability» ideas, existing in the political sphere, as one of the key points of offi cial power discourse. The existing usage of “stability” concept is compared with the scientifi c notions expressed in domestic and foreign research literature.
The author makes a conclusion that the discrepancy between the meaning of «stability» in the two abovementioned spheres and identifi es reasons for such a semantic divergence: the concernment of the political establishment in blurred concepts convenient for power rhetoric (1), defects of the political language (2) paralysis of civic participation, incl. on the part of the academic community, capable to criticize the manipulative exercises of power institutions based on concepts elaborated in Social Sciences (3).
