The methodological sophistication and terminological precision so cultivated by modern science give the scientist the opportunity to draw a sharp demarcation line between theory and politics. The first studies the essence - what is, - the second speaks of the proper, - about what should be. The material for the theory is the world of facts, the infinite variety of which is overcome by it by formulating generally significant laws. Politics relies in its establishment of norms of human behavior on a system of absolute, binding values. Theories explores the causal relationship of phenomena, politics operates with concepts of goals and means to achieve them.
