Abstract

Politics is the most controversial and complex key concept in
political sciences over which there is no consensus among political
science scholars. The most important reason is the existence of
ambiguity in its content, features, and presuppositions. Politics is one
of the subclasses of human sciences, which has always had specific
presuppositions and thus any discussion over the basics and
principles of politics requires a specific theory and viewpoint.
Therefore, distinguishingpolitics from values and beliefs seems to be
impossible. The purpose behind this paper is the recognition of
politics from different viewpoints
