Political Philosophy

项目介绍

COURSES:

Students enrolled in the program are expected to concentrate within their departments, so far as departmental requirements permit, on studies relevant to it. They do their extra-departmental work in one or several of the affiliated departments. Students should check with their home department about whether the department has specific coursework requirements for students enrolled in the program.GENERAL EXAM:

The general examination is set by the individual departments after consultation with the director of the program. Whenever suitable, members of affiliated departments will be invited to participate in setting and grading the exam. The departmental requirements (which are subject to revision) are as follows:

  • Classics students enrolled in the program are required to take a special field exam in political philosophy.
  • History students enrolled in the program devote special attention to the history of political philosophy within the area and the chronological limits of their major field, and are examined on this special interest during the general examination.
  • Philosophy students enrolled in the program are expected to show knowledge of the major political philosophers of the western tradition and to have given special attention to contemporary discussions of the problems of political philosophy (for example, the definition of law and the concepts of justice, freedom, and democracy). The departmental requirements are adjusted to their special needs. The general examination is in the field of political or social philosophy.
  • Politics students enrolled in the program include, among the three fields on their general examination, a field in political philosophy (in addition to the regular departmental field in political theory). Coursework for the field in political philosophy must be taken outside the Department of Politics within one or more of the other departments participating in the program.
  • Religion students enrolled in the program, concentrating in the field of “Religion, Ethics, and Politics,” include among the four parts of their general examination one essay on a topic in political philosophy, written under the supervision of an appropriate member from the classics, history, philosophy, or politics departments.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

The interdepartmental committee sponsors a colloquium for all members and associates of the program.  All graduate students participating in the interdepartmental program are encouraged to participate in colloquium seminars and lectures.
