Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This interdisciplinary course seeks to respond to the question "Can’t we all get along?" Sources of investigation for this course will be drawn from the disciplines of ethics, sociology and political science and will cover a wide range of times, ages and cultures. This course will focus specifically upon the concept of obligation and try to identify the types of obligations which exist between individuals, between groups and individuals, and between a government and its citizens. The course will examine the unique interest of individuals, groups and governments which lead them to ignore their obligations and engage in conflict. Finally, a clearer understanding of the conditions of conflict will help students garner insight into both the resolution of conflict and fostering of cooperation.
