The aim of the course is to introduce students to the major issues in social and political philosophy, such as theories of justice, democracy, rights, etc., through a close examination of the canonical text(s) in social and political philosophy. In this course, we will be studying Kant's Political Writings in order to critically examine his position with respect to the above-mentioned issues.
