Course Description:
This class of methodology focuses on the reading of “classical†texts in Political Theory and Philosophy. Confronting themselves with foundational texts in the Western tradition (Plato, Hobbes, Tocqueville, Marx, Arendt, Foucault…) participants will improve their reading skills. They will acquire a better understanding of the history of political ideas and a better view on current political events. They will also practice their ability to use precise concepts and learn how to develop stronger argumentations. Each week, we will read thoroughly a “classical†text in Political Theory or Philosophy and cover 30 to 40 pages.
