Paradigms of politics and political science

Abstract

Real politics, as it has been carried out and is implemented in the world for centuries, contributed to the fact that people formed an ambivalent relationship to it. Many understood politics as the manipulation by passions of people in a given area; they comprehend it as a dirty business or business segment, in which honest people do not wish to participate. Appeared even sayings that politics is an area of life into which “Angels do not want to enter” or “where enter anyone but man”. It is needless to say, such an attitude of the people is their natural reaction to the practice of power relations that are inconsistent with the theory of politics policies and standards of public decency. The true vocation of politics in society’s life is several other. Political science in unity with sociology and philosophy aims to become a kind of compass and effective guide, pointing the correct direction of social and human development. The article is a reflection on optimal policy paradigms and political science and on the conditions under which these paradigms may become a reality.
