PSC 231 - Introduction to Political Thought (3 cr.)

Should you obey laws, even when they are unjust? What makes government, private property, and the law legitimate? Can you be subject to a government and still be free? How important is equality, and why do we have inequality? This course examines these and other core questions and ideas about political life. Through selections drawn from important works of political thought from 2500 years ago to today, we study the most basic questions humans can ask about society.
