PH 313 - Political Thought From A Global Perspective

Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to study major problems in political philosophy that relate to global issues: Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, Multiculturalism, Democracy and theories on Globalization. These are crucial topics that are becoming more relevant and important in a post-Communist world infested with national, ethnic, racial, cultural, and religious conflicts at both national and international levels. We shall be examining contemporary works by renowned political theorists and philosophers of our time. In studying philosophy, you must be willing to subject all of your inherited ideas to critical scrutiny. If you are content with the world around you and do not wish to disturb the status quo, then this course is not for you. Subsidiary aims of this course include helping you improve your critical skills and write well-structured and logically reasoned papers.
