POS 201 Political Philosophy I

This course introduces the students to the study of political philosophy. We will explore some of the most important philosophical questions that shape the way we understand and act in the world of politics. We will read selections from the seminal works of ancient as well as modern political thinkers and tackle such questions as the nature of the state and political power, the justification of political obligation, or the relation between political and economic freedom.

*Please note: In the Spring term, this course is predominantly taken by CEA students.

**New course code is effective as of Spring 2018.
