Description
Politics have become an area of confusion, conflict, and deadlock. This summer, we will get past the muddle and initiate reasoned, productive, real political conversation by returning to first principles. What is the purpose of the state? What does it mean to have a just society? Guided by our study of Plato, Aristotle, and excerpts from various political philosophers, we will explore the moral and philosophical foundations of human political communities.
Monday: Plato, Republic
Tuesday: Aristotle, Politics
Wednesday: Hobbes, Leviathan
Thursday: Locke, The Declaration of Independence
Friday: Mill, On Liberty
