metadata.value: The article discusses the project of the retheoretization of political science proposed by political
  philosopher E. Voegelin. By means of retheoretization (restoration) of the classical Platonic
  and Aristotelian political philosophy, Voegelin attempts to provide an answer to the discredited
  positivistic worldview of man, politics and history. Voegelin’s political philosophy evaluates
  critically both the methods and the subject matter of political science, explores the human
  nature and reality of human existence in society and history, comprehends relations between
  knowledge and reality, penetrates the sources of the disorder of society, probes the limits of instrumental
  rationality, and establishes an ontological basis for political epistemology. His aim
  is to regain a truth of political order that has been lost through the process of modernization.
  In developing the theme of retheoretization, he distinguishes between classical political philosophy
  as represented in the works of Plato and Aristotle, on the one hand, and the modern
  understanding as conceived by positivism on the other. Voegelin argues that modern political
  science, like modernity in general, is the result of the great Gnostic revolution. Retheoretization,
  he insists, would return political science to the kind of enterprise founded by Plato and
  Aristotle, and overcome the effects of positivism with its emphasis on emulating the methods
  of natural science and establishing a value-free mode of inquiry. The article concludes that all
  of Voegelin’s topics are part of his overall plan for the restoration of a true science of politics.
  This plan, as the authors of the article argue, in A New Science of Politics is not only outlined,
  but also partially implemented, and Vögelin’s work itself is an example of a restored political
  philosophy.
