Course Description
In this seminar we will study liberalism and its conservative critics. We will begin by considering what liberalism is, in its political, philosophical, economic, and legal forms. Then we survey various conservative (traditional, libertarian, communitarian, religious, and postliberal) responses -- both historical and contemporary. No prior knowledge is required, but a willingness to engage deeply with challenging texts will be assumed.
