| Description: | HYBRID COURSE. Not available to virtual learners. PSC-335-01=PPE-338-02 The Social Contract This class explores the social contract tradition, considering the idea that legitimate government is government grounded in the consent of the governed. We will reflect on theories of government that are rooted in a hypothetical state of nature, asking what humans are when stripped of civilization and of all habits and customs. The class will focus on Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Hume, as well as the way that John Rawls develops contemporary social contract theory. We will also attend to critiques of the social contract from the perspectives of sex, race, and disability. Prerequisites: PSC-131 |
