Abstract
If the way we talk is to be taken seriously, there is scarcely any doubt that some form of political reasoning exists. We often say—and hear it said—that so-and-so was thinking politically when he should have been thinking legally, or morally, or scientifically, or esthetically, or in some way that was not political. It is equally common to hear that a man is too political in his judgments, that officials or an institution “play” at politics when they should not, or that political considerations can sway a group from its course.
