PHIL 359 - Social and Political Philosophy

2023-2024 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0


This course will consider some of the foundational issues we face in our search for the best group-living arrangements. Such issues will include, but not be limited to, the conflict between individual liberty and social equality, the criteria for just distribution of wealth, and the proper role and form of government. We will consider how questions about these issues have been addressed historically by philosophers since Plato and Aristotle. We will also explore how contemporary political works by Rawls, Nozick, and others might help us understand and try to solve our own political and social problems.

Prerequisite(s): PHIL 100  or PHIL 130  
Offered: Not on a Regular Basis
