Lyashenko P.V. POLITICS AS A "GAME" IN THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND AESTHETIC THOUGHT OF ANCIENT GREECEAt the present stage of Russian science there is a rethinking of political knowledge, which creates an opportunity for a modern interpretation of the ancient philosophical and political thought, for which policy is identified with the play and was based on the values of beauty and harmony. Synthesizing character of the interaction of philosophical and aesthetic and political beginnings in ancient Greek philosophy explains a meaningful interpretation of the category of "politics" having not only political, but also aesthetic and metaphysical essence. In an effort to understand the nature of the place and the role of politics in public life, the ancient thinkers focused on the conditionality of its cosmic order of life. In this context, the policy depends not only on the person as a subject of the political process, but on the objective laws of space identified with fate as the supreme power of being. Fate, building course and policy rules as the game has been interpreted as an objective cosmic process which are reflected in real social and political practice. Game, representing an ancient form of aesthetic activity aimed at getting pleasure and joy appears metaphysical form of politics as the highest art and defines human existence in the policy. In ancient philosophical tradition of the category of " politics" is closely correlated with the category of "game" and understood in a holistic sense of artistic and aesthetic act. The perception of political reality as a process of the game, points to its aesthetic base, where beauty performs the highest value, being the principle of the policy and the cause of the harmony of all social life.Key words: politics, aesthetics, policy, space, game, beauty, harmony.
