** A note to user Lapaz. My comments are not a personal point of view.  For the passages from Plato that repudiate the second and third paragraphs refer to the dialogues Meno and Phaedo.  Philosophy is divided into its main branches; Logic, Epistomology, Ethics and Aesthetics (Axiology), and Metaphysics or Ontology.  This is standard.  Politics is just a small part of these main branches (this can be verified in just about any article on philosophy in general).  Philosophers are quite often apolitical and look past the ideological (the subjectivity refered to in a paragraph of this article) aspect of politics and seek to find the ethical or moral precepts that are presupposed in the ideology.  So rather than accuse me of doing what you are doing in regard to NPOV, do your homework and try to refute the citations I have made.
