Course Overview

Philosophers have played an influential role in the development of political and ethical thought throughout history. Combine a deep understanding of political theory with an appreciation of the complex ideas behind philosophical thought. You will use these different approaches to analyze, challenge, and debate contemporary issues that impact the world around us. By applying philosophical theory to everyday concerns, we will discover its relevance in our own lives. Drawing upon the works of historical and contemporary thinkers, you will explore the evolution of political thought. This will raise complex and relevant questions about equality, justice, and power. We encourage you to look beyond standard topics and simple answers to consider questions that reflect your own interests.
