This course examines the development of political theory from Greek antiquity to late Medieval Christendom. Through close analysis of major Classical and Christian authors, including Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Augustine, and Aquinas, students will explore the foundations of Western political thought, examining such topics as the nature and purpose of politics; the quest for the best form of government; the meaning of justice, freedom, authority, order, law, and the common good; and the relationship between religion and politics, church and state.
