This essay argues that the reason for the remoteness experienced by the majority of International Relations (IR) practitioners is that IR theory took a wrong turn in the 1960s, during the so-called second Great Debate, by opting for a narrowly conceived scientific approach to the subject and allowing relations between potentially complementary approaches to develop into an intellectual Cold War. In response, the essay elaborates on an old philosophical distinction between practical and theoretic reason, which parallels the distinction drawn in the second Great Debate between traditional or historical approaches on the one side, and scientific or systemic approaches on the other. Commenting on the articles in CRIA's special section IR Theory in Practice: Entirely Academic?, the essay concludes that, strictly speaking, there ought perhaps to be no International Relations theory at all, and urges IR thinking instead.
