Definition(s)
- Political theory has been defined in a variety of ways, as an academic field, a canon of books, a set of interrogatives, a timeless tradition, and a practice of inquiry. The definition that prevails not only determines what qualifies as “real” political theory but who can be recognized as participants in its ongoing “great conversations” about the foundations of collective life.
