The course is designed to introduce students to classical and modern political theory, starting with the ancient Greek theorists, we next explore Renaissance theorists, then the social contract theorists. The first part of the course focuses on questions about why government is formed, the basis of individual obligations and rights in relation to the state, the meaning of democracy, and when actions by government give rise to the right and obligation to resist and rebel. We move on to explore Marx, Mill, 20th Century theorists, covering contemporary debates through the lens of their theories.
