It develops fact-sensitive political theory, which avoids a forced split between ends in the idealist–realist debate by treating abstract and concrete normative discussions with equal standing. The account integrates concrete empirical facts while also justifying the selection of facts through theoretical and methodological reflection.","cbCaioTI0K7ZGoxG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioTI0K7ZGoxG","pdf",979716,1,13,"English","en","# Introduction\n## Fact-sensitive political theory vs. idealism and realism\n## Continuum of fact specificity and theoretical inquiry","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper identify with contemporary political theory’s approach to facts?\",\"answer\":\"Political theory often proceeds too abstractly, without sufficient attention to facts, which undermines political relevance and can introduce biases in the selection of facts and institutional/agency assumptions.\"},{\"question\":\"What is fact-sensitive political theory, and how does it avoid the idealist–realist divide?\",\"answer\":\"It treats key facts and abstract normative principles as closely interlinked, allowing abstract and concrete normative reasoning to coexist compatibly.
