The course aims to provide students with critical-interpretative tools to understand and analyze political and social phenomena, starting from the concepts of authority, power, freedom and justice up to the current issues of multiculturalism, gender studies, post-colonial theories and biopower.

Program

The first part of the course deals with the authors and the fundamental concepts of political philosophy, analyzing, in particular, the relationship between human nature and political order starting from classical antiquity up to the twentieth-century theories (neo-contractualism, personalism, communitarianism, etc.).
