摘要：Contemporary political theory is facing an identity crisis. Understood solely as a branch of intellectual history with a primary task of commenting on, interpreting and reinterpreting classical and contemporary texts of selected ‘greats’, political theory ceases to be a politically relevant branch of political science. The article presents the way in which this crisis was recognized, discusses its main causes and tries to offer a suggestion regarding the way in which this crisis could be overcome.
