IN PERSON: Classical liberalism is a system for governing diverse societies grounded in fundamental principles of equality and the rule of law. It emphasizes the right of individuals to pursue their own forms of fulfillment free from arbitrary government encroachment. In this discussion course, we will examine threats to liberalism from both the right and the left by focusing on populism, neo-liberalism and identity politics in the U.S. We will also consider whether liberalism can be revitalized for the 21st century. Students are expected to read approximately 30 pages each week and actively participate in class discussions. | Facilitated discussion.
