In this course we will explores texts that have played a pivotal roles in shaping western intellectual thought and the formation of political and cultural communities up to the present day. We will focus on tracing out their common themes such as political and social organisation, political authority, morality, human nature, and the nature of knowledge. In doing so, our concerns will be twofold. On the one hand we will be trying to understand these texts in their historical and social context, on the other we will analyse and critically discuss the arguments they present and their underlying assumptions thereby learning how to construct will-formed arguments of our own.
