承接上一集嘅總論，今集講一個政治哲學的方法論（methodology）問題：究竟政治哲學應唔應該「離地」？政治哲學應該點樣處理「政治現實」嘅問題？一個「冇可能」實現嘅理論，究竟又有冇價值？

This episode explores a methodological question in political philosophy, namely: how "idealistic" or "realistic" should political theory be? My discussion will be focused on the works of Bernard Williams and David Estlund.
