Ferenc Pataki, in his major work on the ego and the sense of social identity calls human subjectivity 'mysterious' and recommends the categories of the ego, the personal and social identities to its study. According to him the category of the ego (the ego-system) is the most comprehensive category of the three (Pataki, 1982). In relation to the meaning of this most comprehensive category the author regards G. H. Mead's distinction relevant, who distinguished between the 'reactive I' and the 'built-up I' created and interiorised by others (Mead, 1973). In the present paper heis in quest for a key to the mystery of the politician's ego.
