THE MULTILINEAR RELATION BE1WEEN CONCEPTS AND EVIDENCES

Concepts are considered as the tools of political analysis, and
without recognition of the concepts, particularly the concept of
state, there is no possibility for us to have knowledge of the world
of politics. Parallel to the external developments, concepts are
also growing fatter and more dynamic in modern age. This
development may be explained through two approaches:
approach of interpretive sciences and approach of political
thought. In the first approach, methods such as hermeneutics,
modern phenomenology, linguistics, discourses and
signifier-signified position, semiology, chronology and foundation
breaking are employed. In this approach development in concepts
is taken for granted.
In the second approach, there is a kind of similarity between
the ways of development in the concepts of the politics and the
concept of state.
This article discusses the matter of multilinear relation between
concepts and evidences in political thought.
