Governments and international institutions regulate our lives. This raises profound questions about how we relate to each other and to our government.
By what right do some people rule over others? Do citizens have an obligation to obey the law? How can we live together peacefully if we disagree about how best to live?
This course, taught in conjunction with the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Politics and International Relations, explores the core issues of political and legal theories and the relationship between them. By studying the works of theorists both past and present, you'll delve into the fundamental questions of legal and political philosophy.
