Political science has its limits when it comes to
presidential prediction
DAVID SCHULTZ notes:
“The study of politics goes back to the Greek
philosophers Plato and Aristotle. Yet modern political science is a construct
of the post-World War II era, a response to the challenges of modern science ...
Looking at these accomplishments, some sought to make the study of government
and politics a science. A scientific study of politics meant building models
that could mathematically predict events, much like physicists or chemists can
calculate or predict molecular or chemical reactions. Prediction included the
concepts of description and explanation. This is what the “science” in
political science meant.”
