ONLINE: This lecture-based course delves into pressing political issues such as economic equity, educational preparation, cultural socialization and ideological identity. We will explore the moral and existential principles required for stable government within the framework of social justice. By studying the works of great historical political thinkers — like Plato of Athens and Leo Strauss of the University of Chicago — and their influence on contemporary political science, we will bring to light foundational ideas about governance and their relevance today. Students will gain a broader and deeper understanding of how political theory shapes everyday life and government rule. | Lecture + Q&A.
