The significance of Political Science as a discipline in contemporary times is due to the crisis of consensus in our society as the result of differences in values. In the world, we live no one value can pretend to organize life anymore, with the only commonality being that all values are challenged. Absolute values have paved the way for a relativized system of values in which every value speaks and emanates from their peculiar cultural context. Relativization of Values has led to a situation wherein the possibility of drawing a consensus is never a “Given”, but it always has to be created. In this world where conflict is always a possibility, the discipline of political science creates the space for drawing consensus. Political Science has the necessary tools to envision transient but effective modes of consensus, as the discipline of Political Science teaches the diversity of values need not bemoaned, rather they underscore a need for institutional arrangement in which the concerned diversity can be institutionally articulated which will also dilute the particular intensities of values and would pave the ground for a shared commonality. The discipline of Political Science can liberate society from the morass where it finds itself and addresses the political crises and social unrest through political actions by converting into policies and addressed though political and administrative institutions.
