Course Objectives: |
This course examines major political theories and ideologies such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, nationalism, fascism, feminism and so forth. In rethinking these ideologies, particular attention will be paid to the different aspects of each particular ideology through the works of monumental political thinkers from Locke to Marx, from Burke to Bakunin. The relationships and links between different ideologies and political theories will also be explored. |
