What is political philosophy? Do our political leaders used this at their advantage? Or they don't care?

Answer 1

Your question does not practice individuality and therefor is not scientific as is not answer number three, the sexist answer. Political philosophy is philosophy, but the notion for applying the word 'political' is to force a reaction in the mind the illusion of specialty. For its simplest description is the relation of people to each other, whatever that time and place and people is subject. No reasonably competent human, good or evil, is void of a political philosophy, whether understood as political or not, or philosophy or not. The most common or popular notion is procedure and purpose of and for the state authority, whatever its organic nature may be.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccol%C3%B2_Machiavelli Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 – June 21, 1527) was an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet, and playwright. He is a figure of the Italian Renaissance and a central figure of its political component, most widely known for his treatises on realist political theory (The Prince) on the one hand and republicanism (Discourses on Livy) on the other.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourses_on_Livy

The Discourses on Livy (Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio, Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy) is a work of political history and philosophy composed in the early 16th century by the famed Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), best known as the author of The Prince. Where The Prince is devoted to advising the ruler of a principality, i.e., a type of monarchy, the Discourses purport to explain the structure and benefits of a republic, a form of government based on popular consent and control. It is considered almost unanimously by scholars to be if not the first, then certainly the most important, work on republicanism in the early modern period.[1]

Answer 2

There is a man's political philosophy. And then, there's a woman's political philosophy.

One is aggressive, territorial, and winning as a prize. This is but a fragment. There is also a paternal sense of welfare.

The latter is compassionate, quick to compromise, and a maternal instinct at the forefront.

This is my view.
