What Is Political Science?: An Inaugural Lecture Given in the Convocation Hall of the University of Toronto, 9th November, 1888 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical look at political science that links economics, law, and civic duty to the welfare of the state. This edition explains how method, history, and policy fit together for better public life.
The lecture frames political science as a field formed by a broader sense of personal duty and a need to educate the citizen. It surveys how economic thought has evolved, the shift toward historical and inductive methods, and the role of the state in guiding social life without overreaching.
- How economics can be understood as a living, useful guide for public policy.
- The difference between old and new approaches to economic theory and investigation.
- Why the state may need to intervene to balance individual rights with the common good.
- How a historical and empirical perspective helps explain contemporary political questions.
Ideal for readers of foundational discussions in political science and for anyone seeking a historically grounded view of how the discipline connects ideas to action.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book initiates Political Science as a necessary addition to university studies due to urgent need. The author explains how it stands separate from sociology and opens up new departments in American and German universities. It presents courses on Constitutional History, Law, Political Economy, Political Philosophy, Jurisprudence, Municipal Law, International Law, and History to provide students with systematic knowledge concerning the state, its constitution, functions, organs, relation to the individual, and other societies. The author emphasizes the value of investigating the historical and economic causes of constitutional differences and the importance of pursuing a position different from that of the older economists, such as focusing on observation and generalization from facts rather than relying solely on abstract theory. By examining the political and economic questions of the present, this book demonstrates that Political Science offers a standard of judgment and suggests directions for removing social ills, making it a crucial subject for the education of citizens in a rapidly democratizing world.
