| General description |
POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY is currently the most active (and perhaps the most attractive) area of philosophy. Basically, it thinks not about what society is, how we live, but about how we should live in society in order to achieve the highest level of well-being and happiness for people.
So although political philosophy takes a normative approach (what should be) rather than being exclusively descriptive (what is), it is in constant interaction with real information from economics, sociology and political science.
In this course, we propose short lessons dedicated to the main concepts (or problems) of political philosophy, as well as the main current justificatory models for the solutions to these problems and concepts proposed by political philosophy. Finally, we give a brief overview of the most current future challenges in this field of knowledge.
In addition to the professor's oral teaching, which is supported by multimedia material (presentations, videos, photos, etc.), numerous texts by classical and contemporary authors on the different concepts and models are provided.
Films with political content play a complementary but very important role in illustrating the ideas, problems and political conflicts at the centre of this subject through practical monographic sessions.
