“Political science searching for new thought”: attractive raise of theme but not indisputable

Abstract

This article explains the necessity of putting political thought at the center of political understanding of the world of the political phenomenon. Author says that the formulation and the realization of scientific and educational projects and standards according the scheme «the unknown world - scientist exploring the unknown chaotic world-knowledge as the result of the scientific research of the scientist- publication of the gained knowledge/ introduction of the political discourse- transfer of the gained knowledge to the students and politicians» can work under modern circumstances only with a minimal efficiency or may not work at all. In this particular situation the main and passing subject of the modern political education and scientific research should be political thought and it’s projection into political action and reality. This approach would supply the existing gap in the whole system of competences at which modern education and modern educational bodies should be oriented. In the long-term perspective realization of this kind of program would require the constant methodological verification of basic principles and schemes of thought which were proposed by the representatives of the humanitarian knowledge at least for the last two centuries.
