Political Science - The Umbrella of Social Good

To each endeavor there is an end. This is the point Aristotle draws on to point out the all encompassing and pure nature of politics.

Using an example as his teacher the philosopher demonstrates that to each action there is a result. "The end of medical art is health, that of ship building a vessel, that of strategy victory, and that of economics wealth."

What is it that surrounds each of these actions to bring one grand action to one grand end? The answer to our question would be answered here by Aristotle with a resounding; politics.

His point being that to take on political endeavor to study the art of health, strategy, economics and, yes, even ship building. Politics is the umbrella under which all other endeavors and arts are governed. This, the philosopher states is the "master art."

One must ask in this analysis what is the definition of science? It is simply a state of knowing or system of knowledge covering general truths. One must also ask what the definition of politics is in its truest sense. Politics is the art or science of government. Placing these two terms together as our philosopher chooses to conclude is therefore indicative of the point begin drawn out. Politics or "political science" is the governing and driving art which guides all other endeavors or actions leading to social good.

No where else will you find the geniuses and elite of every facet but in politics. This is what Aristotle would argue. That within politics you will find a gathering or cluster of those who look at and understand each aspect of industry, art, economy, influence and who knows even possibly the latest shoe trends for shoes in Utah that presses in on culture with its life.
