Understanding and Assessing the Book of Modern Political Analysis: Innovations and Dilemmas

The purpose of this paper is, in particular, to understand and evaluate Robert Dahl and Brackner's book, modern political analysis and in general, to provide a framework for analyzing a text. Today, the conventional way of examining a text with false assumptions, which actually leads to a lack of understanding and evaluation, is to presuppose definitions of understanding and evaluation, attention to semantic dimensions, and emphasis on face and content evaluation. But the problem is, how long can an evaluation be made and how to speak about a correct assessment? The main reasoning of this article is that the conditions for the possibility of understanding and evaluating an effect based on this assumption are that it is not possible to understand and evaluate two twins, one of the others.The context of understanding require the return of the text to the historical context and the context of the evaluation involve the propositional content. The result of the application of the above rules is that the work has been written in the political atmosphere of "democracy" and "behaviorist" science. The verbs contained in the speech initially confirm the behavioral-oriented monistic methodology, then the change into pluralistic affiliation. An increasing propositional content represents innovation in the thematic, political and methodological context. Decreasing propositional content points to problems in the methodological domain of political science, For example, it is not able to provide a valid argument about how to obtain normative propositions from the empirical method of studying the historical and metaphysical values. Therefore, the understanding and appraisal of political phenomena requires Robert Dahl's methodological adjustments.
