There is a persistent myth that political science and political theory, despite their occupancy of the same professional residency, represent different intellectual vocations with separate but star-crossed, histories. Their actual common historical lineage is well-documented, but what has not been critically examined are the problems deriving from the idealist epistemology that continues to inform both enterprises.

John Gunnell is Emeritus Professor at Suny Albany & Visiting Professor at University of California, Davis
