About this course
This course investigates key philosophical questions and debates related to politics, economics, and social justice. We will begin by examining major political traditions ? Liberalism, Libertarianism, Conservatism, and Socialism ? assessing and comparing their core principles. From there, we will delve into essential topics in political philosophy, including social contract theory, distributive justice, freedom, and equality. The course will then turn to philosophical issues in political economy, exploring property rights, markets, and public choice theory, along with critiques of capitalism. Finally, we will confront debates on contemporary political challenges, such as reparations for slavery, immigration, and the status of democracy. By the end of the course, students will gain a deeper understanding of the methods and subject matter of philosophy with respect to politics and economics, hone their ability to formulate and critique political-philosophical arguments, and be better equipped to analyze and evaluate socioeconomic systems, structures, institutions, and policies.
