The essay focuses on the concept of "political concept" within both the history of concepts ["Begriffsgeschichte"] and its philosophical reception. Since the political concept is defined in relation to the status of modern political science, a comparison is needed between conceptual history, epistemology and history of sciences. The aim of the article is to propose, on this basis, a philosophical interaction between conceptual history and French epistemology (Bachelard, Canguilhem, Foucault).
