POLS 3700 - The Enlightenment and its Critics
The western enlightenment still shapes the parameters of much of what we take for granted about political life today. Beginning with the work of Immanuel Kant and John Locke as thinkers central to the western enlightenment, critically examines the relationships between power and knowledge, individual freedom and social and political order, reason and religion, progress and pluralism. Critical examinations draw from work ranging from early conservative responses to the enlightenment, to Marxist, psychoanalytic, existentialist, feminist and postcolonial work.
