PH 205 - Philosophy of Society

Will provide students with resources for examining the question of the relation between human nature and civil society. For example, some of the questions examined in these courses will be: the nature of a just human society, the relationship between a just civil society and a divine order, the relation between the cultivation of human virtue and a just civil society, whether civil society enhances or limits our freedom, and whether civil society should be focused primarily on the common good or the rights and benefits of a single individual. (The particular emphasis or approach is left to the discretion of the faculty member.)
