Daniel Jacobson, Director and Joseph Porter, Associate Teaching Professor

CWCV 2010-001: Enlightenment to Modernity, MW, 3:35 – 4:50 pm

Are all men created equal? Is there an invisible hand? Should we seize the means of production? In this course, we will explore these and other fundamental social, ethical, and political questions through a survey of great works of the Western tradition from the Enlightenment to the contemporary period. We will focus on primary-source excerpts from some of the most influential works of all time, including Hobbes' Leviathan, the Declaration of Independence, Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto, and Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality
