授業の概要と方法

This course uses the history of Western political thought to explore and introduce wider issues in politics such as the roles and responsibilities of political organizations, their leaders, and their subjects / members; as well as concepts such as democracy, communism, utilitarianism, and others; and how these have evolved over time. With classes covering the era from ancient Greece to the mid-20th century, the major ‘classic’ works of European political thought are examined. The course demonstrates historical, security, societal, and technological conditions influence the development of ideas and how these ideas then influence the conditions from which they originated. Usually Offered: Spring and Fall.

Keywords: Monarchy, republic, democracy, tyranny, oligarchy, human rights, communism, fascism, utilitarianism, anarchy, dictatorship, religion, freedom, legitimacy, nationalism.
