David Easton on Theories - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 490 Theory/Easton: According to Easton, American political science in the early 1950s was dominated by two approaches, which he called "historicism" and "empiricism". Historism/Historicism/Easton: focuses on a history of political ideas, each understood as an expression of its historical epoch. >Historicism. EastonVsHistoricism: 1. Thus political theory is no longer an autonomous theory, but only a manifestation of a temporal epoch. 2. With this, no answers to the problems of the present can be given. Empiricism/Easton: runs out in a collection of facts without foundation. EastonVsEmpiricism: Accumulation of data as an end in itself, the theoretical peculiarity of which is not apparent.(1) >Empiricism. Brocker I 491 Theory/Easton: a theory must not regard its subject itself as a derived phenomenon (in Easton's case, politics). 1.
