Political Science and Political Philosophy
In: American political science review, Band 45, Heft 4, S. 1081-1085
ISSN: 1537-5943
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 PHILOSOPHY AND POETRY

A reply to S. Burckhardt's criticism of the author's article on Othello and Jaffa's article on King Lear (See SA A0626, A1446). Burckhardt objected to the pol'al interpretations of the 2 plays but did so only on the grounds of their unconventionality & from the standpoint of specialization. Shakespeare dramatized men in pol'al situations, & a proper understanding of the passions of the heroes depends upon an adequate analysis of those situations. Pol'al philosophy was traditionally the fountainhead of pol'al & moral understanding, & it is useful & necessary to study it in order to see the deepest levels of Shakespeare's thought. His plays are incarnations of the problems of man, the pol'al animal, & a purely personal interpretation impoverishes their sense & trivializes the moral issues presented in them. Shakespeare was an educator of citizens. AA-IPSA.

Sigurd Burckhardt has rendered a service in providing the occasion for a thematic presentation of the principles underlying the interpretations of Shakespearean drama by Jaffa and me, to which he has taken such exception. The issue does not primarily concern literary criticism but rather has to do with the relation of art to political philosophy and, in turn, with their relation to life. Burckhardt, however, has not joined the debate on the level of the issues. He does not argue against the substance of our interpretations, and does not say wherein and why they are in error. Characteristic of his method is his offer of three statements "admittedly out of context" from my article for which he then proposes the following test: "Choose," he says, "a jury of widely read, intelligent men, show them these statements (with the information that they are meant to describe two main characters in a play known to all of them), and then make them guess who is being talked about." Burckhardt thinks he is "safe in claiming that there will not be a single correct identification." The moment seems somewhat inappropriately chosen for suggesting the method of a quiz program for deciding a matter of validity. But seriously, does any scholar, however he may wish for public acceptance, make this his standard? Agreement may produce peace, but it can never by itself be a criterion of truth. In presenting my conclusions, I have a right to ask that they be tested in the light of my evidence and my arguments. In the court of scholarly judgment it is a weak argument that rests on the number of witnesses who can be summoned to support an opinion.
