POL 341 - Ancient and Medieval Political Thought

We will examine such thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and others on such issues as: human nature, the good life, the role of government, the relation between the individual and the government, the meaning of freedom, and the need for social order. We will also investigate how ancient and medieval views differ from modern political thought. Cross-listed with PHIL 341.
