HON 101 - First-year Seminar

Institution:

Simmons University

Subject:

Description:

Institutions-law, education, policy, for example-tend to group us by our shared similarities. Must they? When does that approach disadvantage us in unfair ways? When should differences make a difference? When should differences be ignored? This course explores these questions, using readings from philosophy, literature, law and legal theory, and the social sciences to focus on the nature and meaning of difference, its relevance for us personally and politically in relation to the state, and its moral status independent of institutions.
