About the Book
This book explores the historical and contemporary state of political theory, highlighting its unease in modern times. L.S. Rathore argues that the overemphasis on professional, specialized political theory has caused it to lose its 'conscience' and become detached from real societal values. Without a philosophic framework, political theory becomes a contradiction and lacks true meaning. The text criticizes the field's excessive attachment to empirical methodology, which has led to a loss of direction.
Rathore maintains that political theory must be rooted in value premises, with factual knowledge serving as a supplementary tool. He proposes a value-fact confluence model, where values take precedence, as a more relevant approach to political theory for building a sane society. The book asserts that political theory should illuminate, explain, and serve as a clue to understanding politics, drawing heavily from cultural values and societal conditions.
Despite the persistent gap between political theory and political practice, Rathore argues that bridging the two remains an intricate task that requires a return to the core values at the heart of political thought.
