Статья посвящена феномену власти. Автор исходит из того, что власть есть биосоциальное явление. Задатки власти наследуются людьми от природы, но сама власть проявляется только в обществе. Во властных отношениях следует различать субъект и объект власти. В настоящее время политическая власть в основном носит анонимный характер. The article is devoted to the phenomenon of power. The author assumes that power is a biosocial phenomenon. People get the beginnings of power from nature. But the power is manifested only in society. It is necessary to distinguish the subject and the object of power authorities. Nowadays, the political power is generally anonymous.
