| Course Section Number: | PPE-238-02 |
| Department: | Philosophy, Politics, Economic |
| Description: | This course focuses on some fundamental questions for our political moment. To what degree are our political and economic institutions shaped by the physical spaces we inhabit, and the web of non-human life that we share the world with? Is a democratic future compatible with an assumption of human exceptionalism in nature, and can a sustainable future for humanity be achieved? In essence, this course examines how ecology (geographic place, environment, and non-human life) shapes and constrains our political lives. Over the course of the term, we will critically engage with texts from political theory, sociology, geography, and environmental science, to interrogate how our relationships with nature impact our understandings of democracy, justice, and equality. Particular emphasis will be focused on two core themes: the compatibility of democracy with equitable climate justice, and the political consideration of the non-human and material elements of Earthly nature. Will count as an elective for ENS minor. PSC-230-01=PPE-238-02 |
