Abstract
This introductory article proposes a reflection on the status of classical political theory and its constitutive modes of thought. From this perspective, classical political theory is conceived as a heterogeneous thematic and argumentative structure that encompass different genres and levels of discourse, which recurring framework can and ought to be reconstructed aiming to apprehend its contextual meaning and the meaningful relevance of its current appropriations. Finally, such historical and intellectual exercise is exemplified by the different topics that constituted the subject-matter of the articles presented in this monographic study.
