CEPS 0914 - Politics and Ideology

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This course offers an intense, deeply personal and highly intellectual experience, as you engage the passionate arguments of leading political thinkers and explore your own feelings about them. Here in America the two predominant ideological orientations are Liberalism and Conservatism, so it definitely behooves us to understand both of them thoroughly. But elsewhere in the world, and at different moments in history, other ideologies have had many supporters. What are Communism, Anarchism, and Fascism really about? Why have so many people been attracted to them, and could they stage a comeback at some point in the foreseeable future? Or are there other, newer alternatives which could become more influential?
