Spesso, soprattutto in determinate aree politiche, è diffusa la convinzione che i trattati e le opere di filosofia più che di politica siano i fondamenti per la pratica politica quotidiana e soprattutto per l'elaborazione degli obiettivi concreti.
Ovviamente non c'è nulla di più sbagliato.
E' molto meglio cominciare a comprendere dapprima le regole che muovono la realtà e solo in seguito approfondire di filosofia.
