One unit. What problems confront the relationship between a governing body and its members Why does this question necessitate an inquiry into the very meaning of government, i.e. what it should aspire to achieve and why Who should rule and why According to what principles May political theorists argue that such inquiries require that we investigate our human condition and the various forces shaping it. This course explores key concepts in political theory, such as moral respect, obligation, coercion, freedom, justice, law, power, consent, confl ict, goodness, evil, legitimacy, and equality. We will examine how a variety of infl uential political thinkers in the western tradition have approached these topics, noting the philosophical, psychological, historical, and moral contexts within which they theorize. We will also ask in what ways their ideas may or may not be useful in helping us to think about our own political world and many of the political problems we face. Offered fall semester.
