El problema de la Filosof\u00eda Pol\u00edtica<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n The impossibility of a \u201cvalue-free\u201d political science can be shown most simply as follows. Political science presupposes a distinction between political things and things which are not political; it presupposes therefore some answer to the question \u201cwhat is political?\u201d In order to be truly scientific, political science would have to raise this question and to answer it explicitly and adequately. But it is impossible to define the political, i.<\/span>e<\/span>., that which is related in a relevant way to the <\/span>polis<\/i><\/span>, the \u201ccountry\u201d or the \u201cstate,\u201d without answering the question of what constitutes this kind of society. Now, a society cannot be defined without reference to its purpose. The most well known attempt to define \u201cthe state\u201d without regard to its purpose admittedly <\/span>led<\/span> to a definition which was derived from \u201cthe modern type of state\u201d and which is fully applicable only to that <\/span>type<\/span>; it was an attempt to define the modern state without having first defined the state. But by defining the state, or rather civil society, with reference to its purpose, one admits a standard in the light of which one must judge political actions and institutions: the purpose of civil society necessarily functions as a standard for judging of civil soci<\/span>e<\/span>ties.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n La imposibilidad de una ciencia pol\u00edtica <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>libre de valores<\/span>\u00bb <\/span>p<\/span>uede ser <\/span>mostrada de la manera m\u00e1s sencilla<\/span>. La ciencia pol\u00edtica presupone la distinci\u00f3n entre <\/span>cuestiones<\/span> pol\u00edtic<\/span>a<\/span>s y <\/span>cuestiones<\/span> que no lo son; presupone, por tanto, alguna clase de respuesta a la pregunta <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>\u00bfqu\u00e9 es lo pol\u00edtico?<\/span>\u00bb.<\/span> A fin de mantenerse<\/span> verdaderamente cient\u00edfica, la ciencia pol\u00edtica tendr\u00e1 que plantearse este problema y resolverlo expl\u00edcita y adecuadamente. Pero es imposible definir qu\u00e9 es lo pol\u00edtico, <\/span>es decir,<\/span> como aquello que concierne a la <\/span>polis<\/i><\/span>, el <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>pa\u00eds<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> o el <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Estado<\/span>\u00bb<\/span>, sin contestar previamente al <\/span>la pregunta <\/span>de qu\u00e9 es lo que constituye <\/span>esta clase de<\/span> sociedad. <\/span>Ahora, una sociedad no puede ser definida sin<\/span> aludir a sus fines. El intento m\u00e1s conocido de definir <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>el Estado<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> sin hacer referencia a sus fines se admite que conduce a una definici\u00f3n derivada directamente del tipo del <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Estado moderno<\/span>\u00bb<\/span> y que por completo s\u00f3lo es aplicable a este tipo de Estado; se trataba de un intento de definir al Estado moderno sin haber definido antes al Estado. Aceptando la definici\u00f3n de Estado, o mejor de la sociedad civil, en relaci\u00f3n con sus fines, admitimos, sin embargo, un <\/span>est\u00e1ndar <\/span>a cuya luz tendremos que juzgar las acciones y actividades pol\u00edticas. Los fines de la sociedad civil figuran necesariamente como <\/span>est\u00e1ndar <\/span>para juzgar las sociedades civiles.<\/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
