El problema de la Filosof\u00eda Pol\u00edtica<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n Finally, we must discuss the relation of political philosophy to political science. \u201cPolitical science\u201d is an ambiguous term: <\/span>it designates <\/span>such investigations of political things as are guided by the model of natural science, and it designates the work which is being done by the members of political science departments. As regards the former, or what we may call \u201cscientific\u201d political science, it conceives of itself as <\/span>the<\/i><\/span> way towards genuine knowledge of <\/span>political <\/span>things. Just as genuine knowledge of natural things began when people turned from sterile and vain speculation to empirical and experimental study, the genuine knowledge of political things will <\/span>begin when political philosophy will have given way completely to the scientific study of politics. Just as natural science stands on its own feet, and at most supplies unintentionally materials for the speculations of natural philosophers, political science stands on its own feet, and at most supplies unintentionally materials for the speculations of political philosophers. Considering the contrast between the solidity of the one pursuit and the pitiful pretentiousness the vague and inane speculations of political philosophy altogether than to go on paying lip service to a wholly discredited and decrepit tradition. The sciences, both natural and political, are frankly non-philosophic. They need philosophy of a kind: methodology or logic. But these philosophic disciplines have obviously nothing in common with political philosophy. \u201cScientific\u201d political science is in fact incompatible with political philosophy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Finalmente, es preciso tratar la rel<\/span>aci\u00f3n entre la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica y la ciencia pol\u00edtica. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Ciencia pol\u00edtica<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> es un t\u00e9rmino ambiguo: designa las investigaciones sobre cuestiones pol\u00edticas<\/span> guiadas por el modelo de las ciencias naturales y designa el trabajo que realizan los miembros de los departamentos <\/span>universitarios<\/span> de <\/span>C<\/span>iencia<\/span>\u00a0P<\/span>ol\u00edtica. <\/span>En lo que ata\u00f1e <\/span>primera de las antes mencionadas<\/span>, <\/span>es decir, a la que podr\u00edamos denominar <\/span>ciencia pol\u00edtica <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>cient\u00edfica<\/span>\u00bb<\/span>, se concibe a s\u00ed misma como <\/span>el<\/i><\/span> camino hacia el conocimiento genuino de las cuestiones pol\u00edticas. <\/span>Del mismo modo <\/span>como el conocimiento genuino de las cuestiones naturales comenz\u00f3 cuando la gente abandon\u00f3 la especulaci\u00f3n est\u00e9ril y vana para pasar al estudio emp\u00edrico y experimental; el conocimiento genuino de las cuestiones pol\u00edticas comenzar\u00e1 cuando la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica haya dado paso completamente al estudio cient\u00edfico de la pol\u00edtica. As\u00ed como la ciencia natural se sostiene por s\u00ed misma y, a lo sumo, proporciona sin quererlo materiales para las especulaciones de los fil\u00f3sofos naturales, la ciencia pol\u00edtica se sostiene por s\u00ed misma y, a lo sumo, proporciona sin quererlo materiales para las especulaciones de los fil\u00f3sofos pol\u00edticos. <\/span>Considerando<\/span> el contraste entre la solidez de una de las actividades y <\/span>el<\/span> lamentable y pretencioso af\u00e1n de las<\/span> vagas y vanas especulaciones de la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica, <\/span>lo razonable es desechar a la \u00faltima. Es <\/span>preferible seguir apoyando, <\/span>aunque sea de<\/span> palabra, una tradici\u00f3n totalmente desacreditada y decr\u00e9pit<\/span>a<\/span>. Las ciencias, tanto naturales como pol\u00edticas, <\/span>francamente son a<\/span>filos\u00f3ficas. <\/span>Por supuesto que n<\/span>ecesitan alg\u00fan tipo de filosof\u00eda: metodolog\u00eda o l\u00f3gica. Pero estas disciplinas filos\u00f3ficas obviamente no tienen nada en com\u00fan con la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica. La ciencia pol\u00edtica <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>cient\u00edfica<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> es, de hecho, incompatible con la filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica.<\/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
