Political Science

When a person or a group of people reflect upon the society, times and the social events of an era, they give rise to political thinking. Society has existed since the beginning of civilization and the actions of people within a society give rise to social events. Men have always had opinions and thoughts about these social events, with the invention of language, they began to articulate these opinions resulting I political thought. Political thinking has existed since antiquity. Every age has had its problems and men who have thought about these problems and tried to find solutions. This men have come to represent that age the political thought of their times. Political thoughts, while they try to find solutions social problems, are also an expression of the hidden motives of these people. Thus political thinking constitutes articulate thoughts which try to find a solution to a social problem while at the same time expressing some hidden agenda of the thinker.

While political thinking is essentially a thought process and an attempt to articulate these thoughts, not all articulated thoughts constitute political thinking. For example thoughts about self improvement do not constitute political thinking. Similarly, just recording the history exactly as it happened without giving any thoughts to the problems and their solutions is not political thinking. In order for a thought to be classified as political thought, it must articulate a social problem and attempt to find solutions to it. A political thought must also in some way forward a thinkers hidden unarticulated thoughts.
