Course Description
In this seminar we will study liberalism and its contemporary critics. We will begin by considering what liberalism is, in its political, philosophical, economic, and legal forms. Then we survey various critiques—religious, communitarian, libertarian, socialist, populist, among others. We will be reading a range of articles and books, mostly in the field of political and legal theory. No prior knowledge is required, but a willingness to engage deeply with challenging texts will be assumed.
