- COLL (CASE) A&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
We¿ll explore some of the most significant types of political actions that citizens undertake. Key questions include: How should the rights of free speech and civil disobedience be understood and defended? What are the parameters, if any, under which different types of political violence (e.g., terrorism) are justifiable? Readings will be drawn from a diverse array of philosophical traditions and include pieces by Arendt, Goodin, and Rawls. We will also look at work by constitutional legal scholars and examine actual legal cases such as Texas v. Johnson.
