Description

This course provides the philosophical foundations of social policy. As such, it addresses the following questions and dilemmas: Does justice require mercy? Should justice dictate a correct way to behave? What would just political institutions look like? If there are individual expectations of justice, what about community expectations? Thus, in this course students review classical and contemporary theories of justice while examining, analyzing, synthesizing, and justifying their own views and applying them to contemporary issues.
