In this course we examine a range of authors and texts in political philosophy, both historical and contemporary, and from both the Anglo-American and continental traditions. Taking a different author and approach each week, we will address topics such as justice, freedom, inequality, citizenship, rights, conflict, and power, and use these discussions to think critically about today’s political problems and political landscape. Assessment is based on a project that students develop over the course of the semester.
