  real man is a composite of "economic man," "political man," "moral man," "religious man," etc. a man who was nothing but "political man" would be a beast, for he would be completely lacking in moral restraints. a man who was nothing but "moral man" would be a fool, for he would be completely lacking in prudence. a man who was nothing but "religious man" would be a saint, for he would be completely lacking worldly desires.
  
  recognizing that these different facets of human nature exist, political realism also recognizes that in order to understand one of them one has to deal with it on it own terms. that is to say, if ı want to understand "religious man," ı must for the time being abstract from the other aspects of human nature and deal with its religious aspect as if it were the only one. furthermore, ı must apply to the religious sphere the standards of thought appropriate to it, always remaining aware of the existence of other standards and their actual influence upon the religious qualities of man. what is true of this facet of human nature is true of all the others. no modern economist, for instance, would conceive of his science and its relations to other sciences of man in any other way. ıt is exactly through such a process of emancipation from other standards of thought, and the development of one appropriate to its subject matter, that economics has developed as an autonomous theory of the economic activities of man.
