Philosophy, Politics, Econ I

Catalog description

Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) I examines central questions in the human experience at the intersection of these three important fields of study. The course promotes cross-disciplinary discussions about key texts and historical figures from the earliest civilizations to the early modern era. Far from being an arbitrary amalgamation of disparate fields, PPE recognizes the rich tradition of major thinkers who were philosophers, political theorists and economists all at once. Meets the Arts and Humanities requirement or the Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement of the Core Curriculum (cannot meet both core requirements).
