POLS 308 - Modern Political Theory

Description

Hours: Three hours lecture per week Description: The age of modernity brought with it new conceptions of the self, individual rights, and the right to revolution. It also ushered in an age of new abuses of power: labor exploitation, totalitarianism, and fears of a surveillance society. This course explores eighteenth- through twentieth-century theories responding to these historical and social developments with an eye to the continuing impact and relevance of modern political thought.
