El problema de la Filosof\u00eda Pol\u00edtica<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n Political philosophy ought to be distinguished from political thought in general. In our times, they are frequently identified. People have gone so far in debasing the name of philosophy as to speak of the philosophies of vulgar impostors. By political thought we understand the reflection on, or the exposition of, political ideas; and by a political idea we may understand any politically significant \u201cphantasm, notion, species, or whatever it is about which the mind can be employed in thinking\u201d concerning the political fundamentals. Hence, all political philosophy is political thought but not a<\/span>l political thought is <\/span>political philosophy. Political thought is, as such, indifferent to the distinction between opinion and knowledge; but political philosophy is the conscious, coherent and relentless effort to replace opinions about the political fundamentals by knowledge regarding them. Political thought may not be more, and may not even intend to be more, than the expounding or the <\/span>defense<\/span> of a firmly held conviction or of an invigorating myth; but it is <\/span>essential to <\/span>political philosophy to be set in motion, and be kept in motion, by the disquieting awareness of the fundamental difference between conviction, or belief, and knowledge. A political thinker who is not a philosopher is primarily interested in, or attached to, a specific order or policy; the political philosopher is primarily interested in, or attached to, the truth. Political thought which is not political philosophy finds its adequate expression in laws and codes, in poems and stories, in tracts and public speeches <\/span>inter alia<\/i><\/span>; the proper form of presenting political philosophy is the treatise. Political thought is as old as the human race; the first man who uttered a word like<\/span>\u201cfather\u201d or an expression like \u201cthou shal<\/span>t<\/span> not\u2026\u201d was the first political thinker; but political philosophy appeared at a knowable time in the recorded past.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Habr\u00eda que diferenciar a la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica del<\/span> pensamiento pol\u00edtico en general. Hoy en d\u00eda se identifican estos t\u00e9rminos con frecuencia. <\/span>La gente ha ido tan le<\/span>j<\/span>os <\/span>en la degradaci\u00f3n del nombre de la filosof\u00eda <\/span>hasta el punto de hablar <\/span>de las filosof\u00edas de vulgares <\/span>impostores<\/span>. <\/span>Por<\/span> pensamiento pol\u00edtico <\/span>entendemos<\/span> el estudio o la exposici\u00f3n de ideas <\/span>po<\/span>l\u00edticas, y por idea pol\u00edtica <\/span>podr\u00edamos comprender<\/span> cualquier <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>fantas\u00eda,<\/span> noci\u00f3n, <\/span>impresi\u00f3n<\/span> u otro g\u00e9nero del estilo en lo que la mente se pueda emplear en pensar<\/span>\u00bb <\/span>que sea significativa pol\u00edticamente y, que est\u00e9 relacionada con los <\/span>principios pol\u00edticos. De aqu\u00ed que toda filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica sea pensamiento pol\u00edtico, pero no todo pensamiento pol\u00edtico sea filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica. El pensamiento pol\u00edtico, como tal, es indiferente a la distinci\u00f3n entre opini\u00f3n y conocimiento; la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica, sin embargo, es un esfuerzo consciente, coherente y continuo por sustituir las opiniones acerca de los principios pol\u00edticos por conocimiento <\/span>de ellos<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>El pensamiento pol\u00edtico puede no ser m\u00e1s, o incluso no pretender ser m\u00e1s, que la exposici\u00f3n o la defensa de una convicci\u00f3n firmemente aceptada o de un mito vivificador; <\/span>s<\/span>in embargo, es esencial para <\/span>que <\/span>la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica <\/span>sea puesta en marcha<\/span> \u2014<\/span>y se mantenga en marcha<\/span>\u2014 la <\/span>inquietante conciencia <\/span>de la diferencia fundamental entre convicci\u00f3n o creencia y conocimiento.<\/span><\/span>. Un pensador pol\u00edtico, <\/span>que no es un <\/span>fil\u00f3sofo, defiende o est\u00e1 interesado principalmente en un determinado orden pol\u00edtico; el fil\u00f3sofo pol\u00edtico <\/span>est\u00e1 principalmente interesado en, o apegado a, la verdad<\/span>. El pensamiento pol\u00edtico no es filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica, encuentra su expresi\u00f3n adecuada en leyes y c\u00f3digos, en poemas y relatos, en folletos y discursos p\u00fablicos. La forma apropiada para el desarrollo de la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica es el tratado. El pensamiento pol\u00edtico es tan viejo como la raza humana; el primer hombre que pronunci\u00f3 una palabra como <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>padre<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> o una expresi\u00f3n como <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>t\u00fa no har\u00e1s\u2026<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> fue el primer pensador pol\u00edtico; la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica, sin embargo, aparece en un momento determinado de<\/span>l pasado <\/span>del que tenemos registro<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Siguiente p\u00e1rrafo<\/a><\/p>\n P\u00e1rrafo anterior<\/a><\/p>\n Ir al inicio de esta entrada<\/a><\/p>\nLe<\/span>\u014d<\/span>nard<\/span>\u012b<\/span> Str\u016bt<\/span>h<\/span>i\u014dnis<\/span> verba<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
