Description
What is freedom? What is justice? What is democracy and its role in creating a just society? This subject will help you answer these questions independently, guided by your insights and how they interact with philosophical discussions of politics. Major political philosophies such as liberalism, libertarianism, and Marxism are compared and critically assessed. Through thought-provoking readings, engaging discussions, and real-world examples, you will gain the knowledge and perspective needed to navigate the intricacies of politics and the everyday challenges of belonging to a community.
