Suggestions for a General Index for Political Science
In: American political science review, Band 31, Heft 3, S. 517-525
ISSN: 1537-5943
For some time, the growing stature of political science as an independent social science has been a notable feature in American universities. Yet, up to the present time, the categories of this new field of scientific endeavor have not found their way into the indexing departments of libraries, nor have they been recognized by indexers of other collections. Even the editors of encyclopedias, people of great learning and ability, have omitted some of the most significant topics of political science, because of the lack of any accepted index indicating the range of the field and focusing attention upon its primary categories. The American Political Science Review itself is confronted with the problem of a suitable subject-index. The growing complexity of all kinds of materials bearing upon the work of political scientists, and more particularly the increasing mass of public documents, has become more and more baffling. Even the skillful indexers of the Congressional Record, for example, seem unaware of the major topics of interest for political science, and thus no sign-posts of the usual kind have been made available to workers in our field.

THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGIES IN POLITICAL CHANGE
In: International social science bulletin, Band 5, Heft 1, S. 51-74
ISSN: 1014-5508
In an introduction to summaries of papers delivered at the 2nd Congress of the Int Polit Sci Assoc (Sep 1952) the following points are made: (1) while the meetings had adequately indicated the 'complexities inherent in the analysis of political ideologies,' it failed to establish acceptable lines of methodological approach; (2) 'the relations between political theory (or philosophy) and political ideology remained unexplored.'; (3) a lack of terminological precision hampered results (discrepancies in the use of `symbol,' differing definitions of 'ideology,' and lack of differentiation between political ideologies and other ideologies); & (4) emphasis was on the East-West conflict rather than historical experience. The summaries of the paper are grouped under the following headings: (1) Dealing with the analysis and dissemination of ideologies. J. Blanchet, 'Ideologies et Transformations Sociales.' Jacques-Serge Billy, 'Le Problems de la Finalite des Societes Politiques et lea Explications Ideologiques.' H. D. Lasswell, 'The Political Role of Ideologies.' K. Lowenstein, 'Political Ideologies and Institutions and the Problem of Their Circulation.'; (2) Case studies of specific ideologies. S. D. Bailey, 'The Revision of Marxism.' R. D. Lang, 'Conservative Thought in Europe 1818-30'; (3) Case studies of ideologies in specific geographical areas. R. D. Lucic, 'Means of Propagating Ideologies and the Conditions for Their Development in the Various Parts of the World (Yugoslavia).' M. Azis Ahmad, 'Political Ideology of Pakistan.' D. N. Banerjee, 'Political Ideologies and Their Influence on Political Behavior with Special Reference to the Results of Their Propagation and the Conditions of Their Acceptance'; (4) Case studies of internationalism as an ideology. W. N. Hogan, 'International Organization and the Dissemination of Ideologies. J. Ellul, 'Propagande et Ideologie.' F. Lenz, 'An Introduction into the Sociology of Broadcasting'; (6) Special Studies.

Political Science and Political Philosophy

The dominant belief among both teachers and graduate students of political science seems to be that political theory constitutes the heart of their subject; yet political theory is not, in practice, the core of political science teaching. Such is the schizoid condition of political science and political scientists that is revealed by the investigations of the Committee for the Advancement of Teaching of the American Political Science Association. The hypothesis advanced in this note presents a dual reason for the unfortunate situation: it is partly that political theorists have failed to keep up with the times and have not engaged in sufficient value-free theoretical study of the raw data of politics, and partly that vast numbers of political scientists have falsely concluded that one of the most important parts of the traditional study of political theory—political ethics—is not susceptible of scientific treatment and should rigorously be eschewed.
Political Science and Political Theory

Among political scientists, even among political theorists, there is a widespread conviction that political theory has entered upon a time of troubles. Few, however, regard it simply as a "dead dog," and political theorists continue, as they should, to administer critical self-analysis, and to define and defend their methodological and philosophical positions. The basis for a unity of opposites is still a subject for dispute. This paper is offered, not as a solution, but as a statement of one conception of the role of political theory.A time-honored technique of dialectic is to seek well-reasoned objections to the view one does not hold. A medicine often commended to the political scientists is a body of systematic, scientific theory akin to economic theory in approach and methodological sophistication. Accordingly, this article takes issue with that interpretation which conceives of political theory as, ideally, the master discipline whereby the science of politics is to be unified and systematized, and empirical investigation oriented and guided. A few definite and carefully developed proposals for reconstruction along these lines, familar to political scientists, are G. E. G. Catlin's The Science and Method of Politics, Harold D. Lasswell's and Abraham Kaplan's Power and Society, and David Easton's The Political System. These works can serve as an initial point of purchase for analysis and discussion.

C. P. Snow, in his Rede Lecture on the scientific and literary worlds as separate cultures, lists four groups needed by a country if it is to "come out top" in the scientific revolution. First, as many top scientists as it can produce; second, a larger group trained for supporting research and high class design; third, educated supporting technicians; and "fourthly and last, politicians, administrators, an entire community, who know enough science to have a sense of what the scientists are talking about."It seems increasingly clear that the growing army of "political" scientists—meaning natural scientists in politics—is more likely to be aided by students of politics prepared to understand the effects of science in political terms than by most of the recent efforts to understand politics in scientific terms. When one looks over the journals in political science, and in related areas of public opinion and social psychology, searching for significant conclusions in articles where much time has been spent on the elaboration of method, it is difficult to avoid V. O. Key's conclusion "that a considerable proportion of the literature commonly classified under the heading of 'political behavior' has no real bearing on politics, or at least that its relevance has not been made clear."

Much of this essay falls within the realm of speculative thought. Since it is in the nature of speculation that one's words may appear immodest and his conclusions often eccentric, I shall state my arguments at the outset without pausing to elaborate them. The arguments themselves are quite simple. Each of them will reappear later on clothed, I hope, in more attractive dress.Two varieties of political thought contended for the allegiance of the American people at the founding of the new nation. The two seem irreconcilable in certain crucial respects.One was notable for its expression of friendship and brotherhood, for its insistence upon individual spontaneity and uniqueness, and for its disdain for material concerns; it was intuitive and unsystematic in temper. The other displayed a preoccupation with social order, procedural rationality, and the material bases of political association and division; it was abstract and systematic in temper.The exponents of the latter point of view, having put their opponents to rout, assumed the responsibility for organizing the government and politics of the country. They enacted their psychological, social, economic, and political theories into fundamental law, then erected insititutions designed to train generations of citizens to prefer certain goods and conduct over all others.
THE ROLE OF POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES IN POLITICS

Attempts to explain the nature of ideologies & to specify their functions in society as a whole can be seen as falling into 6 distinct groups: (1) as systems of theoretical propositions purporting to tell how things really are; (2) as systems of normative or evaluating statements; (3) as calculated lies, for the furtherance of particular pol'al purposes; (4) as myths; (5) as expressions of the needs & demands of soc groups; & (6) as expressions of the att's of diff human personality types. The only approach that will always be found to pay a dividend is to preserve an open mind with respect to the diff ways that may lead us to our goal. IPSA.
