  Department of Political Science || POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR
The program in political science is designed to help students understand contemporary public policy, the importance of politics and democracy in their lives, and the means of influencing government to respond to collective needs.
The political science curriculum stresses a broad understanding of the workings of political processes in the United States and abroad; the cultural and ideological bases of modern governments; and the acquisition of skills for evaluating public policies and participating in the political process.
Political science bridges liberal arts and sciences, and the CSU Department of Political Science stresses the importance of both scientific and humanistic approaches to the field.

 Vico's Uncanny Humanism
Vico claimed it took him twenty years to grasp the master key of the New Science, that the first men of the human race were poets--that is, creators--prehuman beings who, with their poetic language, created not only the human world, but their own human existence.
Thus, the New Science does not yield epistemological truth in the philosophic sense, but, rather, the hermeneutic understanding that, ontologically, humans are creators, that what they create are the true things of the human world.
The narratives we moderns make with our abstract, conceptual language--whether of analytic philosophy, the social sciences, even the narratives of natural science, and certainly those of Vico scholarship--yield only constructed "truths," along with the hermeneutic insight that humans are by nature creators, that among the things they make are their "true" narratives.
