Ronald Pennock and David Smith maintain that political scientists often debate the relative merits of various political values, as liberty and order such and in doing so they are philosophizing rather than practising." According ly, it is asserted, that their field of study should properly be denominated"Government" or"Politics" rather than by the more restricted term"Politi cal Science." As it is, Pennock and Smith conclude, we must recognize that we have scientific political scientists and philosophical political scientists. There is an important place in the profession for those who leave questions of political ethics to others and who strive for the greatest possible detachment in judging trends and seeking to determine cause and effect in political matters. 4 In other words, some''division of labour'' is desirable"between those who consider what goals should be pursued and those who concentrate on discovering the best ways of attaining particular goals, or who merely try to chart the couse we are following and predict whither we are bound.
