PL 339 - Social & Political Philosophy (3)

This course is a critical examination of some major political and social questions, such as (but not limited to): What is the nature and scope of political authority? What (if any) legitimate forms does it take? Can the state be justified? What does it mean to be a political agent? What is the relationship between politics and religion, economics, race, and/or gender? This course challenges students to critically reflect upon our shared political freedoms and obligations, justifications of political authority, the social nature of identities, and our roles as political subjects.
