(3 hours) |
The political thought and practice of the
Middle Ages in the West were profoundly shaped by Christianity.
One of the distinguishing marks of the modern era is the
challenge by political thinkers of Christianity's central role.
The origins of that challenge are to be found in Machiavelli,
Hobbes, and Locke. This challenge, however, is not of the same
nature as the philosophical investigation of revelation which
has been carried on by ancient political philosophers. Not only
that, but this challenge comes hand-in-hand with an account of
human life that is in many ways limited and limiting even as it
claims to be liberating. It provokes a critical reaction from
within the framework of modern political thinking. Some of the
most influential representatives of the political movements his
thought inspire. The primary goal of this course is to gain an
acquaintance with the uniquely modern way of resolving the
tension between reason and revelation, its view of the regime
and citizenship, and its account of the human good.
