ReplyDeleteGreetings, Empress!
My concern is that I cannot fully grasps at the difference between Political Science as a Profession, a Vocation, a Hobby, an Art and a Craft. Can you cite instances for each po.
Thank you and God bless, sir. :)
Let's say a teacher.
ReplyDeleteIf she is a professional, she has certain standards on her work.
If she is a teacher because of vocation, she teaches beacuse she likes teaching.
If she is a teacher who is creative using pleasing qualities, she has art.
If she is a teacher who is teaching useful things however boring the lesson is, she teaches craft.
If she has learned from a master, it's both art and craft.

ReplyDeleteGood day, Empress!
I would like to ask for clarifications between the ideas of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke regarding state of nature and social contract. Thank you sir! :)
Thomas Hobbe's state of nature was dangerous, man is selfish and would do anything to get what he wants. Every man for himself. Thus to gain security, people made the social contract sacrificing some of their powers (power to kill, power to detain others), in order to create the state - which now weilds those powers.
DeleteLocke's is more positive, he believed man is rational. Though not everyone is always so. Life is inconvenient because not everybody respectss each others rights. The social contract was made to ensure everybody's liberty continue without harming the liberty of others. If there's no contract, my liberty will include smoking and litering everywhere. the social contract creates order.

ReplyDeleteGreetings Empress!
I would just like to clarify about the specific differences between two of the opposing views in the progressive-eclectic history, the Maximal/rational and the Marxist.
Thank you!

I'm a bit confused with the difference of rigor and insight and rules of evidence and inference. Kasi po it is said in the readings that, "progressive eclectic are those who accept the criterion of pol sci scholarship based on rules of evidence and inference". Does that mean that evidence and inference can also be regarded as qualities of knowledge?
Thank you, Empress!
