THE DECLINE OF POLITICAL THEORY?

Abstract

Рассматривается идея заката, упадка, смерти политической теории, декларируемая западными авторами.This theme is discussed by philosophers and scientists. The idea of the decline of political theory, declared by some Western authors, is analyzed within the article’s format as possessing no sound epistemological foundations able to prove its validity. Its supporters wrongly assume that political science as a form of scientific knowledge should not be conceivable as different from political philosophy which is based on another sort of philosophical beliefs and knowledge structure.
