This course will serve as an introduction to many of the most central questions of political philosophy. For instance, what is required for a state to be just and its citizens to be free? In exploring these questions, we will identify some theoretical tensions between justice, individual liberty, and equality. We will then bring this theoretical understanding into dialogue with some pressing political questions that arise in the con-temporary US.
