In this seminar we will ask students to discuss what is a just government, and we will read abstracts from Hobbes’s Leviathan, Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, Rousseau’s First and Second Discourse, Mill’s On Liberty, and John Rawls' Justice as fairness. (We might cover some but not all of the material due to time restriction.) We will consider the differing views of these philosophers on issues such as the aims and limits of politics, the role of morality in the harsh world of political necessity, the proper place of religion and reason in political life, and the nature and basis of justice.
