This article is an attempt to take a closer look at the political paradigm of Jean-Luc Nancy’s thought. First it refers to withdrawing from the total domination of the political that is exemplified by the sentence: “everything is political”. More precisely, the French phrase used by Nancy and his colleague Ph. Lacoue-Labarthe, retrait du politique means withdrawing from the “political as such”. Through this it becomes possible to re-define or re-thinking the political by incessantly call in question of its essence. It requires a political gesture through and through and it is the only way of putting into question the total domination of determination of the political in terms of foundation, sovereign, principle, authority etc. Secondly the text refers to the two schematic models of Nancy’s understanding of politics: that of subject and of citizen and his constant circulation. In this way for Nancy the politics is always in progress, is non-self-sufficiency. Thus the politics underlines the own ethical dimension because it means the struggle for a new world, the struggle for the global injustice. That’s why the politics means to create the world every time and it is our ethical demand.
