Political Science cannot be considered a science. Give two arguments in support of this statement.

Answer»

Political Science cannot be considered as a science. Two arguments are as following: 

1. Research and experiements like science are not possible: 

Research and experiments are not possible in Political Science. Subject matter of natural sciences includes non – living things like summer, winter, sound, light, etc.

So experiments can easily be carried out in laboratories and correct and exact evaluations can be made, whereas, Political Science is a social science. Its subject matter includes living and emotional human being and his behaviour that keeps changing according to circumstances.

2. Relation of cause -effect cannot be established easily: 

This is one of the basic fundamentals of science that cause – effect relation can be established in it. Political Science works on assumption, probability and approximation. So, cause – effect relationship cannot be established in Poltical Science and it cannot be called a science.
