Description

Explore the foundational principles of political science through the lens of one of its most iconic figures. While Harold D. Lasswell is widely recognized as a central face of the field, this book explores a less documented aspect of his work: the role of politics as a formal academic activity. Written at the onset of the culture wars three decades ago, this text provides a clear outline of the core positions held by political science practitioners. It offers a unique perspective on how the discipline maintained its professional stability and objective focus during a time when many other social science fields moved toward more extreme activist stances. This book serves as a vital resource for students, academics, and anyone interested in the history and evolution of political theory. By examining the professional boundaries of the field, it helps readers understand the distinction between academic study and political activism. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on government, politics, and social science history.
