This is an academic article which derived from theories and important concepts concerning the science of political science. There are so many political scientists in the era of behavioral science who want to create a political theory that its accuracy is comparable to those of pure sciences such as chemistry, biology, etc., with the hope that it can be used as a tool for analyzing and predicting political phenomena that occur with a certain level of accuracy as possible. The main aim of the article is to understand the philosophy and basic assumptions behind the influential analytical models that political scientists have frequently used to study political phenomena, i.e. system model, functional model and cybernetics.
