This course provides students with an introduction to foundational texts in the history of political thought. We will explore major concepts such as reason, right, and freedom. Students can expect to gain familiarity with works that have proven immensely influential in modern Europe and beyond, but will also be expected to consider ways in which such thinking has relevance for today’s world. Participation in discussions, and two short papers dealing directly with the ideas of two different thinkers will be required. All texts will be available through Blackboard.
