Discussion
Assertion (A) : Aristotle is justifiably called the Father of Political Science.
Reason (R) : His criticism of Plato's idealism justifies this claim.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion. Aristotle is called the Father of Political Science because he studied constitutions empirically and classified them, using observation of Greek city-states. His critique of Plato's idealism, rejecting communism of property and the rule of philosophers in favour of what is practicable, marked this shift to a realistic and comparative study of politics.
Option (B) is wrong because the critique of idealism is the very basis of his empirical approach. Option (C) is wrong because the reason is true. Option (D) is wrong because the assertion is true.
