POST 150 PZ - Political and Social Justice

(Formerly History of Political Philosophy) From the beginnings of Western Civilization either in the Bible or Plato’s Republic, there has been a continual dialogue among political philosophers concerning the nature of justice. What is a just regime? What is the relationship between justice and compassion or between justice and utility? How do we know the nature of justice? The course will examine key philosophers in this dialogue from the ancients to present thinkers on this subject.
