Read the following passage, and answer the questions given at the end of it :
Political realism believes that politics, like society in general, is governed by objective
laws that have their roots in human nature. In order to improve society, it is first necessary
to understand the laws by which society lives. The operation of these laws being
impervious to our preferences, men will challenge them only at the risk of failure.
Realism, believing as it does in the objectivity of the laws of politics, must also believe in
the possibility of developing rational theory that reflects, however imperfectly and
one-sidedly, these objective laws. It believes also, then, in the possibility of distinguishing
in politics between truth and opinion. The main sign-post that helps political realism to
find its way through the landscape of international politics is the concept of interest
defined in terms of power. This concept provides the link between reason trying to
understand International politics and the facts to be understood.
Realism does not endow its key concept of interest defined as power with a
meaning that is fixed once and for all. The idea of interest is indeed of the essence of
politics and is unaffected by the circumstances of time and space. Political realism is
aware of the moral significance of political action. It is also aware of the ineluctable
tension between the moral command and the requirements of successful political action.
Political realism refuses to identify the moral aspiration of a particular nation with the
moral laws that govern the universe. As it distinguishes between truth and opinion, so
it distinguishes between truth and idolatry.
The difference, then, between political realism and other schools of thoughts is
real, and it is profound. However much the theory of political realism may have been
misunderstood and misinterpreted, there is no gain saying its distinctive intellectual
and moral attitude to matters political.
