Abstract
The purpose of the work is to analyze the transformation of scientific ideas about social policy, about the relationship

Materials and methods. The article presents an analysis of social issues and the role of the state in the presentation
of philosophers and thinkers of different eras – from antiquity to modernity.
Results. The aggravation and complication of social problems leads States to understand the need to expand social

systems, their infrastructure, and other various kinds of social guarantees.
