About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to
- demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts and thought patterns in political theory, both regarding older and newer literature,
- account for how such concepts, thoughts and ideas arise and are communicated in different social, political and epistemological contexts,
- in writing, reflect on and relate critically to political concepts, ideas and thought patterns and, orally, at a seminar, account for own lines of reasoning and relate to other students' equivalent achievements,
- argue for and against, and compare and contrast, different political concepts, ideas and thought patterns and take a critical approach to arguments and interpretations, from epistemological, ethical and democratic perspectives.
Content
The course treats both older and newer political theory. Strong emphasis is placed on reading classical texts in their original form. Basic concepts and ideas of modern political theory are also studied.
