ABSTRACT

If Man’s proper study is man, politics is especially his concern since it is the study of the control of man. Like chemistry and the natural sciences, but also like economics, politics is a study based on observation of the way things actually happen. It is a study also of how to gain control over these things. It is a study of power. But, like the humanities, it involves discussion and assessment of values. The first of these fields is that of political science. The second is that of political philosophy.
