According to discourse analysis of classicist writings, the reception of Ciceronian concept of 'societas civilis' at that time should be understood as 'civilized association', a political body aimed at resolving conflicts among aristocracy, including king as primus inter pares. State of association or civility was confronted with wild and barbaric state of nature, whose discomfort and dangers moved people towards establishing political i.e. 'public body', as their understanding of concept of res publica should be understood. New concepts were applied as conceptualizations of new political situation of aristocracy within absolutist states. This semantic application stems from troublesome times of Thirty Years War and simultaneous Civil War in England and Fronde in France – the last aristocratic revolutions against territorially consolidating classicist state.

The paper re-examines the traditional view of the relationship between Diogenes of Sinope and Plato. The first part analyses one particular anecdote about Plato’s labelling Diogenes „Socrates who has gone mad“. This narration serves as a starting point of a closer examination of the whole anecdotal tradition of Plato’s encounters with Diogenes. The next part focuses on the Platonic themes of guardians in his Republic and madness in Phaedrus. In the last part of the study it is argued that due to the similarities between Diogenes’ religious beliefs and the opinions of Socrates’ devotees as well as of Socrates himself, Plato’s designating Diogenes with the label of Socratic madness is rather positive than negative.

The author compares individual republic forms of government and examines the position of President of the Slovak Republic within a parliamentary form of government. He points out to amendments of the constitution since its adoption in 1992, which seem to be adequate in a parliamentary form of government. The author´s criticism aims at the provisions of Article 115 of the Constitution, as amended by the Constitutional Act 356/2011. This amendment has affected the dualism of executive power which is typical for a parliamentary form of government. It constitutes an excessive limitation of powers of the government in case of loss of trust, expression of distrust. Moreover, certain acts of the government are made conditional upon previous approval of the President. Suggestions de lege constitutione for amendment of competences of the President as neutral constitutional actor are made. The author points out to the problems in the application of acts of the creative right of the President, which enter the division of power. Long-term constitutional customs, which supplement the constitutional practice in accordance with a parliamentary form of government, also play an important role in the exercise of powers by the President and other constitutional bodies.
