About
This course is will let you grapple with some of the key questions of political thought: What makes a just society? What does it mean to be free? Do we owe people who live on the other side of the planet anything? Should feminists demand equality? Most of us have intuitions about these questions, but we will be working with the philosophers’ toolkit of logic and reason to pick apart and weigh up our arguments. In addition to reading and discussing political philosophers from ancient Greece to the modern day we will look at what cognitive science has been telling us about “human nature” and whether this can or should affect what we think justice looks like.
