PHL 520
Social and Political Philosophy
What is power, and who really holds it in our society? Is a government's power over us legitimate, and what are its proper limits? Do modern liberal democracies really succeed in giving power to ordinary people? When is it right for citizens to rebel against the powers that be? Such questions and others will be addressed by way of a study of some of the classic works in social and political philosophy.
