Political Reality, Theory and Facts
The paper examines relationships between political theory, political reality and political facts. Political facts emerge only alone with the emergence of the political theory. The multiplication of theories always means the multiplication of facts. Political facts are been drawn upon from political reality. This reality is incomprehensible, infinite, inexhaustible. The key moment in the relationship between theory and facts is that theories cover only a pretty small number of facts. As a result, theories almost never really compete with each other, analysis of most political processes requires involvement of several theories, and forming of causal chains from facts is pretty difficult. Due to a special character of political theories origin such theories can exist to a certain extent independently from political reality.
