Government SSC Political Science Question:
How can we say Political Science is a science?
Answer:
Political science (or, if you want, politology) is a
science for two reasons. First, because it is the
structured study of a set of phenomena, involving itself
with identifying them, grouping them, forming causal and
criterial relations amongst them and providing a
theoretical framweork for them by creating theories and
testing them through the usage of experimentation and
observation, and second, because it uses what is called the
scientific method - i.e. creating and improving on theories
by falsifying them that is, by testing them against
existing observations and improving them (or disproving
them) based on those observations
