    POLITICS AND PHOLITICAL
    PHILOSOPHY
    POLITICS
    It is the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government.
    ORIGIN
    The antecedents of politics can be traced back to the Socratic political philosophers,
    such as Aristotle,(Known as father of Political Science)
    ETYMOLOGY
    The English word "politics" derives from the Greek word politiká (affairs of the cities),
    the name of Aristotle's classic work.
    APPROACHES TO POLITICS
    Extensive and limited approaches
    The extensive view sees politics as present across the sphere of human social relations, while the limited view
    restricts it to certain contexts. For example, in a more restrictive way, politics may be viewed as primarily about
    governance, while a feminist perspective could argue that sites which have been viewed traditionally as non-
    political, should indeed be viewed as political as well.

    Moralism and realism


    Some perspectives on politics view it empirically as an exercise of power, while other see it as a social function
    with a normative basis. This distinction has been called the difference between political moralism and political
    realism. For moralists, politics is closely linked to ethics, and is at its extreme in utopian thinking. For example,
    according to Hannah Arendt, the view of Aristotle was that "to be political meant that everything was decided
    through words and persuasion and not through violence”, while according to Bernard Crick "Politics is the way
    in which free societies are governed. Politics is politics and other forms of rule are something else. In contrast, for
    realists, represented by those such as Niccolò Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and Harold Lasswell, politics is
    based on the use of power, irrespective of the ends being pursued
    Conflict and co-operation
    Politics essentially comes down to conflict between conflicting interests. Political scientist Elmer Schattschneider
    argued that "at the root of all politics is the universal language of conflict" while for Carl Schmitt the essence of
    politics is the distinction of 'friend' from foe'. This is in direct contrast to the more co-operative views of politics by
    Aristotle and Crick. However, a more mixed view between these extremes is provided by the Irish author Michael
    Laver, who noted that "Politics is about the characteristic blend of conflict and co-operation that can be found so
    often in human interactions. Pure conflict is war. Pure co-operation is true love. Politics is a mixture of both.
