POLS 326 Politics & Education

The aim of this course is to broaden and deepen our view of education and its place in our political order through a study of one or more seminal texts of political philosophy that have as a central theme the education of the young, e.g., Plato's Republic, Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education, and Rousseau's Emile. Questions to be considered will include "What is the best polity?" and "What education is suitable to it and to the best way of life?"
