IDENTITY CRISIS OF POLITICAL THEORY

Abstract

Contemporary political theory is facing an identity crisis. Understood solely
as a branch of intellectual history with a primary task of commenting on,
interpreting and reinterpreting classical and contemporary texts of selected
‘greats’, political theory ceases to be a politically relevant branch of political
science. The article presents the way in which this crisis was recognized,
discusses its main causes and tries to offer a suggestion regarding the way in
which this crisis could be overcome.

Keywords
