Another title: Contemporary Political Philosophy, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The course will examine the nature of classical political science and philosophy in order both to clarify our own way of understanding political things through an investigation of that original kind of understanding, and to contrast the classical and modern versions of that understanding. One or more Platonic dialogues and/or one of Aristotle’s works will be studied. 3 hours, winter term. (Not offered in 1972-73).
§23* Empirical Theory
Department of Political Science
This course will consist of (i) a philosophical analysis of sociological theories of system and of behaviour, and (ii) the application of these theories to the field of politics. 3 hours, fall term.
