As a fresher, in my school, introduction to Political Science, Basic Forms and Organization of Govt, and Introduction to Management. Pos101, 103 106 are the core courses i did in my first semester. Others are elective. We did a little bit about the political philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Hobbes, Rosseu, John Locke, Karl Marx and so on.

That is not true. As a political scientist, you can work in any govt establishment.

Let's discuss the political theory of Plato. 'The Philosopher King'. This i have thought about sometimes before, i see no possibility of its praticability. Perhaps, it can work in the acient Greek communiy.

Nice topic.. For me, what i see about plato's theory is dat it cannot fit in to a larger community like we have now.. During dat time of acient greek dere population was very small compare to now, dat makes it easy for him to train ppl in order to know d positn dey fall apetitive or courageous or philosopher. We shud not 4get dat democracy was first practice in ancient greek, but den dey practiced direct democracy which can no more b in practice because of geometrical increase in human population.
Lookin at plato's theory he was talkin about d world of form (essential world) which can not b seen by ordinary men, except some few philosopher king.. He said dat dis essential world is d perfect but is diff 4rm our world of existence which we can see and feel. This makes his theory to b too abstract. Althouh dis does mean dat his theory is useles to our comteporary politics.

@ torch in addition to what sam has said, u can also work at oil company, i said dis because i heard of som1 dat graduated from my sch and she's now workin in oil company. U can also work in bank, embassy. Dont 4get dat pol sc is d mother courses like public admin, international relations and local government administration, so u can do there work as a political scientist. U can also work as a journalist. Dat's one of d reason y i extend it to our graduates so dat dey provide us wit the job opportunity outside there. As a fresh student i wil advice to take ur study very serious and dont rely only on what u ar tot in class, dat's y it is imperative for u as a pol sc student to get a system so as 4 u to download ebook 4rm online.

i wish we shud discus HEGEL'S philosophy... Its just to abstract 4 me to undastand very wel. Let's start 4rm theory dialetics, som1 shud pls xplain dis

Well, we need students who are in 200lvl and above to join this thread. Hegel's theory, we are av not been thought. But i do know that he was at par with Karl Marx before he became a critic of Hegel.
