Course description: This course gives students the tools needed to understand modern political issues. Topics include the supposed justifications for political authority, reasons for limiting freedom, arguments for different kinds of property distribution, conceptions of justice, and responding to oppression and inequality. Students consider live political issues, the arguments and ideas behind different positions, and come to their own informed and reasoned political views.
