HIST 325 - Utopia and Dystopia4 credits
Explores the utopian and dystopian traditions in literature, philosophy, and politics. Analyzes some blueprints for a better world and compare them with some visions of a nightmare society. Also considers why utopias, when put into practice, often degenerate into dystopian tyrannies. Readings may be drawn from Plato, Sir Thomas More, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Federalist Papers, Karl Marx, William Morris, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, B. F. Skinner, and Azar Nafisi.
