Political Science Innovations

 "Political science is methodologically complex and appropriates many psychological, social , and cognitive neuroscience approaches. Approaches include positivism, interpretativism, philosophy of rational choice, behavioralism, post-structuralism, realism, institutionalism and pluralism. The Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle is regarded as ""the father of political science."" Among many others, his works ""Politics"" and ""Nicomachean Ethics"" analyzed on a metaphysical basis political structures. Some have identified Plato (428/427–348/347 bc), whose ideal of a stable republic still yields insights and metaphors as the first political scientist, though most consider Aristotle ( 384–322 bc) to be the true founder of the discipline, who introduced empirical observation into the study of policy. Political science is a branch of social science that is concerned with political behavior, political systems, and politics theory, description , analysis, and prediction."
