PL 238 - Power & Resistance (3)

This course exam and interrogates major political and social questions, including, but not limited to: What is the nature and scope of social and political power? When is resistance to authority and power morally justified and in what ways should such resistance be exercised? What ultimately counts as justice? What does it mean to be a political agent with freedoms and responsibilities? How are we to understand relationships between politics and religion, economics, race, and/or gender? This course challenges students to critically reflect upon, and develop arguments of their own, in light of our shared political freedoms and equalities, justifications of political authority, the social nature of identities, and our roles as political subjects. 2020 CORE: Liberal Arts, Philosophy, Global Studies.
