Badanie przyczyn, dla których politycy przejawiają skłonności do ubarwiania opisu rzeczywistości i próby uporządkowania dorobku śledzących tę działalność badaczy to domena wciąż daleka od wyeksploatowania, choć liczne wątki stale się w niej powtarzają. Obserwacje i rady zawarte w eseju George’a Orwella Polityce and the English Language [Polityka i język angielski] z 1946 r. stają się coraz bardziej aktualne. W analizach należy jednak odróżniać „metaforę” jako metakategorię określonej dziedziny wiedzy od metafor w postaci konstrukcji „społeczeństwo jako”. Podążając za potrójną logiką współczesnej polityki: władzy, zysku i tożsamości i wzorując się na głęboko już osadzonym pojęciu „anarchofilii” należałoby ukuć trzy „wielkie metafory” i włączyć je do dzisiejszej nauki o polityce: powerfilia – dla opisu dążenia do władzy; profitofilia – dla opisu pogoni za zyskiem; wspólnotofilia – dla opisu radykalnej walki o tożsamość.

Studying why politicians show a tendency to colour the description of reality and try to organize the achievements of researchers following this activity is a domain that is still far from being exploited. However, numerous threads are repeated continuously in it. The observations and advice contained in George Orwell’s 1946 essay Politics and the English Language are becoming more relevant nowadays. In the analysis, however, it is necessary to distinguish “metaphor” as a meta category of a specific field of knowledge from metaphors in the form of the construction “society as”. Following the threefold logic of contemporary politics: power, profit and identity, and modelling on the already deeply rooted notion of “anarchophilia”, three “great metaphors” should be forged and included in today’s science of politics: powerphilia – to describe the pursuit of power; profitophilia – to describe the purpose of profit; communityphilia – to describe a radical struggle for identity.
