  • Positivism, especially logical positivism that was influenced by linguistic philosophy, rejected much of the normative political theory as irredeemably subjective, lacking in cognitive basis and even meaningless or outright nonsense.
  • While positivism dismissed normative political theory, it encouraged a scientific study of political phenomena based upon the methodology of natural sciences. Within this tradition, the nature of political argument underwent a significant change, for now both the subject matter as well as the methodology on which it could justify its arguments were different from those in the normative theory.
