Question

political theory in its classic form emerged in?

Answer 1

Political philosophy, also known as political theory, is the study of topics such as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of laws by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever.

In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics, synonymous to the term "political ideology".

Political philosophy is a branch of philosophy.[1] Political philosophy is also considered by some[who?] to be a sub-discipline of political science;[citation needed]however, the name generally attributed to this form of political enquiry is political theory, a discipline which has a closer methodology to the theoretical fields in the social sciences (like economic theory) than to philosophical argumentation (like that of moral philosophyor aesthetics).[citation needed]

Answer 2

The main political theory in its classical form emerged in the year 1970. The sole focus of the political theory was on the empiricists and behavioral scholars on science, methods that came under criticism and the value-free politics.

Even the popularity was slowly fading away because of the failure to address the pressing social and political issues.

Hence, the new and interesting theory emerged.
