Course Long Title

Foundations of Political Theory

Course Description

Answers to questions such as "What is justice? (OR freedom? Or equality?)" "Who is a good citizen and why?" "What is a good state?" and "What should my obligations be?" are debated continually, even as they shape much of the world we live in and share with others. This course introduces students to these core questions as developed by political theorists from antiquity to today, and challenges students to generate working answers to those questions.
