摘要：

United States political science has been heavily subsidized and steered by foundations and the national security state. It has been disseminated all over the world, marginalizing diverse and foreign perspectives. However, the purpose of political science, as defined by Aristotle, its originator, was to find out how to attain the good life for all in a self-governing community. This is still where political science should aim. We can attempt to learn from history and current practices how to embody our ideals in institutions and foster desirable social change. This had been a major purpose of the Caucus for New Political Science (CNPS); other collectives and organizations should join in this task.
