'What is the relationship of truth to our political life? Does democracy require truth? Or can democracy pervert truth? Can truth thrive in any type of government? Are these issues more or less relevant for contemporary politics? This course is an introduction to political theory through an examination of these questions. During the semester, students will examine a variety of political theory classics, analyzing the authors' perspectives on these questions.'
This course is limited to first-year students.
