To Clarify the Notions of “Concept” and “Conceptology” (Reader’s Hint)

The “concept” as a basis for the construction of the science “conceptology” is studied. The question of the concept structure, the language of its description and the possibility of using mathematics for this purpose is discussed. Conceptology is considered as a scientific understanding of political reality in interrelation with social and natural reality. The characteristics of the spaces related to the mentioned types of reality and peculiarities of their conjugation in the concept structure are analyzed. The reasons for the ineffectiveness of mathematical modeling of social processes in the era of 1970s and the chances of success of modern researchers are analyzed. It is concluded that it is possible to develop the science of politics to a level comparable in its rigor, clarity and accuracy of forecasting with physics or mathematics.
