Introduction to Political Philosophy

Catalog description

In this course, we will engage with enduring questions in political and social philosophy such as: When does the government have legitimate authority? What is justice? How important is equality? How should governments handle religion? What is the best form of government? When, if ever, is a war morally justified? We will learn about major thinkers and movements that have proposed answers to these perennial questions and shape the world in which we live today.
