POLITICS

Picture
Politics is the branch of philosophy that deals with how people should interact in a society.  It takes our previous understanding of philosophy (covered in metaphysics, epistemology and ethics) as a foundation to examine the principles of human interaction.  Which type of government is best?  Do we even need a government?  Should I vote Democrat, Republican, or neither?  To answer these, and all other governmental questions, we need a rational study of politics.
