Abstract

[Coming from the founder of Realism, the above remarks are astonishing. That school actually strove to provide an objective measurement of international politics, to lay down principles guiding the better conduct of foreign policy, and to analyze decision-making processes objectively. In the interplay of states and great powers, it perceived an instrumental rationality that could explain their behavior. Yet here is Hans Morgenthau acknowledging a limited rationality. Luck, chance, and intuitive talent are the other elements that constitute and explain political decisions. Over the decades since 1946, the realists have worked to repress this idea.]
