ABSTRACT
My brief contribution seeks to present, in thesis form, a few considerations concerning the research strategy for the concept of totalitarianism. Preceding these is an analysis concerning the change of the concept in the past. There is probably scarcely any other scientific theory that evinces so many twists and turns in its history. Through the collapse of ‘real existing socialism’, a caesura has been reached in the totalitarianism research. This is why a few remarks on a discussion that is as relevant as it is explosive will open my contribution.
