Description: PREREQUISITE:  At least one prior course in Philosophy

We do social and political philosophy to better understand how our social and political communities should be structured. This semester, our course will be broken into two parts. First, we’ll use both classic and contemporary works of political philosophy to explore how we might best balance two aims of political community: Freedom and Equality. While both of these aims are central to a just society, they also seem to be in deep tension with one another. In the first half of the course, we’ll grapple with this tension and how a just society might resolve it. In the second half of the course, we’ll turn to considering freedom and equality in light of the problems raised by racial injustice in our own non-ideal world. In this half of the course, we’ll investigate both obstacles to and the demands of equality in our current world, and what freedom might require in an unequal society. 
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
