授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | Development is fundamentally related with struggle over and distribution of scarce resources and values which are essential for us to survive and realize “good lives.” Politics is everywhere and we are deeply embedded in it, however you hate it, because people cannot live without interacting with others in seeking resources and values. To avoid the possible risks of bloody conflicts over resources and values, we need social orders. But what are models of desirable social order? What kinds of norms or standards should we rely on to create social orders? What is justice and fairness? How individual freedom and equalities can be balanced? To what degree, should coercion be tolerated for those who do not agree over the vision of social order? How can diverse people reach agreements? We do not have theories which everybody would consent to at any levels of our social lives. In this course, we will study various political thoughts, practices and institutions which people have invented and developed to improve inequalities, tame conflicts and create better society. |

成績評価の方法と基準
Course Evaluation Method and Criteria | | Credit is given to C or higher grade for each criterion.
a) Participation in Discussion (30%)
- The lecturer provides guiding questions one week before the class. Students have to prepare their answers to these questions and engage in discussion in the class.
b) Presentation of Reading Materials (20%)
- At least one student will be required to have presentation on each reading material in a session. The presentation must not exceed more than 20 minutes. Presenters are expected to share critical remarks on texts after briefly summarizing essences of texts. I evaluate sincere intellectual engagement with texts. Mere summarization will not get high scores.
