It is, however, necessary to utter here a word of caution. Political Science, as defined here, is a Western product It upholds and explains facts and events from the view-points of the Europeans and Americans. “A suspicious reader” writes Alfred de Grazia, an American political scientist, “may perceive in the story of basic ideas (of this science) presented in these pages a bias toward Western political science. Aver roes (Ibn Rushed), the Muslim Aristotelian, are not ranked with Aquinas, the Christian Aristotelian. Ibn Khaldun is not credited with the basic development of the idea of world history over Augustine. Machiavelli, not Kautilya of India, is called die founder of the idea of power politics”.9<\/p>
