PHI 110 - Introduction to Political Theory (3)This course provides an introduction to political theory, a field of study which engages the history of political thought in an attempt to answer the normative question, “What do we want our political world to be?” Political theory exists at the intersection of philosophy and political science, bringing philosophical tools to bear on political questions: What is justice? What is freedom? What is equality? What is power? When do people or institutions wield power legitimately? When and how may people resist the exercise of power? Students will read primary sources in political theory, reconstruct the arguments that these texts advance, analyze, and critique these arguments. These activities will develop the tools with which students can address political questions responsibly, and so will set them up to practice critical thinking skills both in their classes and as citizens. Same as POL 110 .
