Grahame Lock  -  Political Philosophy  (4 CD Luisterboek)  Engelstalig  Hoorcolleges

BCZ

An audio course on Western Political Theory

This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order. It considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of their day, and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs, justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state. One aim will be to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various regimes and philosophical approaches in order to gain a critical perspective on our own.

Professor Grahame Lock teaches political philosophy at Nijmegen and Leiden Universities and lectures in European philosophy at Oxford University. Among his publications are works on political theory and on general philosophy, including textbooks on the history of political ideas and a monograph on Wittgenstein.
