    In this course, students are introduced to classical and modern political theory. Major figures, including Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, and Mill will provide contrasting views of the human person. Students will observe the fundamental shift in the history of political philosophy between the ancient and medieval view and that of the modern period, namely, the shift from the teleological view of government to the contract based view. Students will then be asked to consider the implications of these views for issues such as freedom, responsibility, law, peace, and justice. Finally, the various political theories will be compared and contrasted with Catholic social-political teaching.

The themes covered include an investigation of what we can know of God by the use of human reason, the role of human beings and their nature in the order of creation, the manner in which human action, in cooperation with grace, can bring humans to their final end, as well as other issues of metaphysics, psychology and methodology.
