IFS 220Social Philosophy and Social Justice

Last listed
1975–76

No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1973–74 to 1975–76; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

This course provides partly an introduction to, and partly an overview and synthesis of, social philosophy and the social sciences. The unifying themes are the continued emphasis on normative questions and foundational and methodological questions about — social philosophy and social science. Although all the social sciences are touched upon, somewhat more emphasis is given to politics, economics, sociology and anthropology than to psychology as such. In general, questions are raised via normative issues, especially the issues of social justice, and through interaction the idea of social planning becomes prominent. Winter term 4 hours (2 2-hour sessions per week) Not offered in 1974-75
