L.S. Rathore critiques the growing trend of specialized, professional political theory that has drifted away from its ethical roots, resulting in a framework that lacks direction and meaning. In the absence of a philosophical foundation, political theory is rendered ineffective, and its reliance solely on empirical data makes it a contradiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRathore argues that political theory should be grounded in value premises, with factual knowledge complementing its broader purpose. He advocates for a value-fact confluence model, where values are central, to build a more relevant and meaningful political theory. The book suggests that theory, in its ideal form, should serve as an illumination, a clue, or an explanation for understanding politics, drawing heavily from cultural and social contexts. Bridging political theory and practice is challenging, yet essential for a more coherent and actionable framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoornima Jain, with a Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, is a distinguished academician and researcher.
