Answer:

Political theory is the study of political ideas and values like justice, power and democracy that we use to describe, understand and assess political practices and institutions.

Politics is the way that people living in groups make decisions. Politics is about making agreements between people so that they can live together in groups such as tribes, cities, or countries. In large groups, such as countries, some people may spend a lot of their time making such agreements.

Answer: Political theory is useful for us as it helps in understanding the meaning of political concepts by looking at the way they are understood and used in ordinary language. Political theory helps bureaucrats, politicians, government officers and advocates to interpret the laws and constitution.

An empirical political theory is a must for the growth of Political Science as a re-established discipline. Only an overarching or general theory can bring about integration, coherence and autonomy to its subject matter. In fact, it is an indicator of the health and youth of the discipline.

Aristotle (b. 384 – d. 322 BCE), was a Greek philosopher, logician, and scientist. Along with his teacher Plato, Aristotle is generally regarded as one of the most influential ancient thinkers in a number of philosophical fields, including political theory.

The expression “political concepts” refers to a set of concepts essential to any serious reflection on political life. This set includes authority, democracy, equality, freedom, justice, power and further concepts that represent fundamental political values and principles.

Politics comprises all the activities of co-operation, negotiation and conflict within and between societies, whereby people go about organizing the use, production or distribution of human, natural and other resources in the course of the production and reproduction of their biological and social life.

Indeed, empirical evidence suggests that political knowledge contributes to more stable and consistent political attitudes, helps citizens achieve their own interests and make decisions that conform with their attitudes and preferences, promotes support for democratic values, facilitates trust in the political system.

Political theory deals with the ideas and principles that shape Constitutions, governments and social life in a systematic manner. It clarifies the meaning of concepts such as freedom, equality, justice, democracy, secularism and so on.

With the knowledge gained from the classroom, we have been able to watch events unfold worldwide, have seen our leaders' reactions to these events and have come to understand these reactions as demonstrations of what we have learned.

Politics is the study of power or the struggle for power. • No society can exist without some form of political organisation and collective decision making. • A number of social institutions such as the family, tribes and economic institutions, have emerged to help people fulfil their needs and aspirations.

Some have identified Plato (428/427–348/347 DCE), whose ideal of a stable republic still yields insights and metaphors, as the first political scientist, though most consider Aristotle (384–322 DCE), who introduced empirical observation into the study of politics, to be the discipline's true founder.

Niccolo Mechiavelli was born in Florence (Italy) in 1469. He was regarded as the first modern political thinker. In fact, he was more of a practical politician rather than a political philosopher, who set a new phase in the development of political philosophy. In 1513, Mechiavelli produced his masterpiece “THE PRINCE”.
