Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : All Political Philosophers are political theorists.
Reason (R) : All Political Theorists are not necessarily Political Philosophers.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, so the answer is the second code.
The assertion is true: philosophising about politics is one form of political theorising. The reason is also true: political theory includes empirical, analytical and historical work by people who are not political philosophers. But the fact that some theorists are not philosophers is not the reason that every philosopher is a theorist, since the one statement tells us only about the wider group and not why the narrower group belongs to it. So R is no explanation of A.
