Political Science Versus Political Reality

Abstract

A polity is not a natural entity, not even an entity in the same sense as society or family may be set to be. Man naturally may be set to have a family and a society, as without these he cannot be conceived to exist in the usual sense of the term. But both of these can exist without there being a polity or a political system which organises and supports them. The political function is a contingent function , not necessary for the survival of human species.
