  • POL 377: t he politics of just wars

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    An examination of those reflections on just wars that illuminate the core of the political, military, religious and philosophic traditions within Western civilization over the last 2500 years. This course will begin by examining military justifications in both classical Greek thought and Roman republicanism, moving to the origins of just war theorizing in the early Church, Judaism and Islam. It also weighs modernity’s most serious criticisms of the moral and political teachings of the classical and Christian world against that tradition’s medieval and modern advocates. The course will also draw on a respectful engagement with pacifist and “Liberal Realist” perspectives and will concludewith a consideration of the contemporary debates that shape our moral and political discourse in order to show how the “Catholic New Left,” feminist political theory, Islamicterrorism, and the allure of a world without borders invite us to reconsider the very possibility of just wars.

  • POL 381: Shakespeare’s Politics

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    Perhaps transcending the distinction between theorist and poet, Shakespeare has given the world dramatic portrayals of the most enduring problems of politics. This course will focus on how Shakespeare’s political works shed light on one of those problems, namely the problem of grand ambition and statesmanship. This course seeks to clarify how Shakespeare’s dramatic works reveal the sinuous relationship between the welfare of the political community, which frequently requires outstanding individuals to save and even perfect it, and the potentially dangerous and destabilizing ambitions of the community’s most talented citizens. In this course, the professor and students, through seminar discussion, will closely read those plays representative of Shakespeare’s Roman and British histories.
