Adam Etinson. Rafael Najera. A short summary of this paper. Email: adam. Email: Rafael. We rarely choose the overall political order under which we live. And yet, all forms of political organization are in some sense chosen: that is, they are products of human creativity, understanding, and behaviour. This means that normative questions have a special salience in politics. Given that, unlike a law of nature, a political order can be changed or supplanted with enough human strength, ingenuity, and effort, it is natural to ask whether the status quo in politics lives up to our understanding of how things ought to be.
Is our political order as good as it can be and, if not, how can it be improved? What normative values, ideas, and standards must a good government satisfy or respect? What does the best political society perhaps a utopia look like?
These are the most basic questions of political philosophy. This course will introduce students to a wide array of topics and issues in political philosophy. As it is an introductory course, a special emphasis has been placed on breadth.
The student will come away with a broad competence in the core topics addressed by political philosophy. Some of these topics include: Whether there exists a genuine alternative to life under a political order of some form Section I ; how political authority and political obligations can be justified Section II ; whether democracy is the best form of government III ; what it means to respect the freedom and equality of citizens Sections IV and V ; whether liberalism is an inadequate political ideology VI ; how we should respond to cultural diversity in political governance and in moral argument Section VII and IX ; what a right is, and what a human right is VIII ; and, what application might the idea of moral progress have in the real world Section X.
Although political philosophy can often seem abstract, throughout the course an effort will be made by the instructor to demonstrate the relevance of political philosophy to current events and political practice. On the 1st of October, students will be given eligible short essay questions.
