PSCI 315 - Contemporary Theories of Liberalism and Conservatism

4 credits
This is a course on contemporary theories of liberalism and conservatism. Two of the most important philosophies of politics of the 20th century and the 21st century, particularly in the United States, are variations of liberalism and classic conservative thought. This course introduces students to those debates via direct readings of major 20th century or contemporary political theorists. The course also includes various counter theorists in the Marxist, post-modernist and feminist traditions who critique the dominant philosophies of the era. This is a writing intensive seminar and students should be prepared to write a significant number of papers of varying length and will be expected to extensively revise their work.
