B ased on the French translation of a book by Peter Winch, this article reassesses the ten- dency in political science – and, more broadly, in the social sciences – to adopt the naturalistic view that the phenomena those sciences explore exist independently of the viewpoints of mem- bers of society involved in their production. In this sense, the contrasting positions taken by Bruno Latour and Pierre Favre, published in issues 58 (4) and (5) of the RFSP , turn out to be similar : both posit that what is and is not political can be determined without reference to specific practices.
