Special Topics in Political Theory:Freedom |
. , 
|
Nearly all modern ideologies claim freedom as a central value, but there is little agreement on what freedom means and how we can be free. This course examines how the concept of freedom has been understood by different thinkers and ideologies in the modern era. We will study distinctions between different conceptions of freedom and ask what freedom requires from political, economic, and legal institutions. We will pay special attention to the relationship between freedom and democracy, rule of law, capitalism, and work, as well as examining critiques and reconfigurations of freedom by theorists of gender and race.
