	Aristotle's Political Theory
		Politics is a practical science, since it is concerned with the noble action or happiness of the citizens (although it resembles a productive science in that it seeks to create, preserve, and reform political systems.) Aristotle thus understands politics as a normative or prescriptive discipline rather than as a purely empirical or descriptive inquiry.
		The analogy is imprecise because politics, in the strict sense of legislative science, is a form of practical wisdom or prudence, but valid to the extent that the politician produces, operates, and maintains a legal system according to universal principles (EN VI.8 and X.9).
		Hence, Aristotelian political science is not confined to the ideal system, but also investigates the second-best constitution, the one which is the best that most city-states are capable of supporting.

	Political Scientist Initiates Ripple of Change for Women Nationally
		She notes that, even today, many leaders in political science and the organizers of major academic conferences want to pigeon-hole women’s research into niches such as “gender politics,” “comparative politics,” and “women in politics” while subverting innovative research by women in presidential politics, military security, foreign policy, and economics.
		But a career as a political observer and scientist was in store for her as she headed off to graduate school instead of a career as a political staffer.
		Duerst-Lahti sees her efforts to improve the position and numbers of women in political science as part of the same continuum as women in politics who are trying to boost the number of women officeholders and to elect a woman president.

		For example, when I study political thought, I'm often required to draw on my knowledge of history and languages, as I have to be able to identify and characterise the concepts behind what people say.
