HUMAN AND CITIZENSHIP IN THE CONTEXT OF PARADIGMAL POLITICAL SCIENCE MEASUREMENT
Journal Title: Політологічний вісник - Year 2018, Vol 80, Issue
Abstract
The critical analis of the centennial stage of the institutionalization of political science makes it possible to draw a paradoxical conclusion — political science is the science of debate and about debate. This is explained not only by the complexity of the methodological use of political science principles or by its poor integration in the subject area of other social (or behavioral) sciences. The main problems of political science are terminological uncertainty and methodological Abstraction. Each new approach in political science really can completely change the essence of its theoretical construction. By introducing the term “Civil Political Science” into broad terms, the authors hope to make a step towards the structural determinacy of political science and give it a solid foundation — the problem of a person as a citizen. Civic political science is intended to improve political science, to arrive from the destructive influence of etatism, which is only masked by ideological stamps and reduces the very idea of the state (as an organism at the same time social, legal, created by a citizen-man for a citizen-man). Applying for the new principles of civil political science, the authors hope to begin the process of “deetatization” of political science in order to serve the true interests of the state — the interests of citizenship. It should not be forgotten that only citizens determine and produce statehood by the fact of their existence. Man as a citizen was formed in the process of human transition from the wild stage of existence to settled life. The struggle of instincts of physical against moral feelings was accompanied by the whole process of political evolution of communities — from the primitive order to the present day. It did not pass the institute of citizenship, which was largely intended to reconcile the instinctive nature of man as a biosocial being (let us recall the patriarchal definition of Roman law). Consequently, the reconciliation of morality and physical nature within a person should be recognized as the prevailing tendency of civil political science.
