Abstract

In the following article we will discuss the methodology and presentation of arguments to prescribe a theory of better governance exposed by two eminent thinkers of politics as they were James Harrington and Thomas Hobbes. Then, we contrast the theoretical development of both authors under the conceptions of political philosophy and political science exposed by Giovanni Sartori and Norberto Bobbio. We conclude with a critique of a seated prejudice in some academic circles of political science.
