Descriptif
This course will examine key issues in political philosophy, such as the nature of democracy, by exploring specific questions and comparing classical philosophers with contemporary references. Questions will include: Are politics founded on a rational obligation? What constitutes a just society? Should democracy be deliberative? Is the state a necessary form of political organisation? To what extent can political disobedience be legitimate? Can politics be reduced to the economic structures of society?
