In Social Sciences 2, you will become adept at examining political practices
and the values which underpin them. The search for the “good life” through
politics has been a human quest since antiquity, and the civic education of
citizens is foundational to the classical formulation of liberal arts education.
In this course you will discuss classic texts of political philosophy from
ancient and medieval times as well as from the modern period. The class will
also examine the founding documents of the American political system in
light of these earlier works. Readings also include texts by Plato, Aristotle, St
Thomas Aquinas, Niccolo Machiavelli, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B
Anthony.
