    Freedom and the State: the Social Contract This Course Aims To

    Freedom and the State: The Social Contract This course aims to introduce students to central questions in political philosophy, through engagement with the work of several significant political philosophers: Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant and John Rawls. The topics with which we will be most deeply concerned include the legitimacy of the state; the limits of the state’s authority; the basis of rights of resistance or rebellion; the relevance of consent to political authority; the nature and value of freedom; the relationship between politics and human nature; and social justice. We will also, as often as we can, attempt to relate the views of these philosophers to contemporary debates.

    chap 16 23/1/03 7:51 am Page 196 16 International justice David Boucher Introduction Is justice intra-national or international, localised or globalised, communi- tarian or cosmopolitan, universal or particular, in its scope? Do richer coun- tries have a duty to help poorer countries and, if so, is this duty a matter of charity or justice, or both? Answers to these questions are often dependent upon an answer to a prior question: are state boundaries morally arbitrary and, if so, do we have a responsibility to help the less well off beyond these borders? A whole range of positions are taken which often cut across the cosmopolitan–communitarian divide favoured by such theorists who work within the field of international relations as Chris Brown, Janna Thompson, Charles Jones and Peter Sutch.1 Cosmopolitanism points to the justification of our moral principles as having a universal basis. For the cosmopolitan the existing social arrangements have no special status as the source of our value. The type of universal principles required is generated by three different sources of cosmopolitanism: Kantian- ism, utilitarianism and Marxism. Although utilitarianism is an entirely differ- ent moral theory from that of Kant, it is nevertheless cosmopolitan. Jeremy Bentham is, of course, the classic utilitarian. His theory is clearly cosmopolitan in that values are universal, and not the product of various particularistic com- munities. Each individual feels pleasure and pain and this is the basis of human values. Individuals have a basic duty to increase the happiness of humankind in general. The institutions of the family and state, for example, have claims on our duty because they promote the maximisation of the general happiness and not because they have priority over utility.
  • Inventing Westphalia

    Inventing Westphalia

    Inventing Westphalia Nicholas Pingitore Senior Thesis Spring, 2020 Advisors: Ethan Shagan and Raphael Murillo Pingitore 1 Introduction The Westphalian Moment, if there ever was one, may quite well have occurred more than 100 years after the signing of the now famous Peace, and in Geneva no less. Writing around 1756, Jean-Jacques Rousseau declared in his treatise, A Lasting Peace Through the Federation of Europe that “the Treaty of Westphalia will perhaps forever remain the foundation of our international system.”1 Prevailing social science lore would find no fault with Rousseau’s logic. Examples abound from the last 70 years of various political theories, international histories, university conferences, even modern military alliances, referencing Westphalia.2 Invariably, there are some differences in how these thinkers frame the importance of Westphalia, but the general mold is familiar enough to any sophomore undergraduate enrolled in a course on international relations.3 It goes as follows: The Thirty Years’ War lasted from 1618-1648. This three-decade-long catastrophe was perhaps Europe’s first modern continental war. While the majority of the conflict took place in central Europe, it drew upon every “great power” resulting in an estimated five to eight million deaths. Modern estimates would suggest that such a toll resulted in a 15–20 percent decline in Europe’s population.4 By 1 Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Translated by C.E. Vaughan, A Lasting Peace Through The Federation of Europe and The State of War, London: Constable and Company Limited, 1917, p. 55. 2 Javier, Solana. “Securing Peace in Europe.” Speech presented at the Symposium on the Political Relevance of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Münster, Germany, November 12, 1998.

It is evident that in contemporary international relations theory he has become emblematic of a realist tradition, but as David Armitage suggests this was not always the case. I want to suggest that it is only in a very limited sense that he may be regarded as a foundational thinker in international relations, and for reasons very different from those for which he has become infamous.

    HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHICAL SCIENCE OF RIGHT Kevin Thompson 2352 N. Clifton, Suite 150.24; T: 2:00-3:00, and by appointment 773.325.4866 (office); 773.325.7265 (department); Email: [email protected] This seminar examines the central issues and ideas of Hegel’s philosophical science of right—that is, his moral, legal, social, economic, and political philosophy—through a close reading and critical discussion of the Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1821) and related passages from the first edition of the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline (1817). It focuses specifically on the set of concepts that constitute Hegel’s unique contribution to moral, legal, social, and political thought: freedom, objective spirit, and ethicality. We begin, however, with a discussion of the methodology Hegel employs throughout his mature work as this lays the foundation for his distinctive approach to the central issue of the science of right: the sovereignty of the state. The ultimate task of the seminar is thus to come to an understanding of how this distinctive method serves to justify Hegel’s normative claims regarding the institutional structure of a genuinely rational social order.

  • The Idealism of Young Oakeshott

    The Idealism of Young Oakeshott

    The Idealism of Young Oakeshott By Efraim Podoksik (Paper presented at the Ninth International Conference of the International Society for the Study of European Ideas (August 2004, Spain). To be published in the volume edited by Stamatoula Panagakou on Anglo-American Idealism) Draft version—not for quotation I The purpose of this article is to interpret the intellectual development of Michael Oakeshott as a young man, drawing on his published and unpublished works written between 1924 and 1929, when he was in his twenties. Oakeshott’s mature works are currently enjoying a wider readership, which attests to the growing interest in his thought. Yet their true significance will not be properly understood without appreciating the place of Oakeshott within the history of twentieth century philosophy. Such appreciation, however, requires a contextual analysis of his ideas. Contextualising Oakeshott is not a simple matter, not least because he himself was sharply opposed to this method, insisting that a truly great philosophy should connect us with eternity rather than be reduced to the banalities of its immediate context.1 His mature writings were intentionally idiosyncratic, as he rarely paid debt to his contemporaries, and even where he mentioned the works of others, such references were often misleading. Furthermore, his idiosyncratic style was accompanied by immense erudition. All these features of Oakeshott’s writings make any individual scholar’s embrace of the comprehensive meaning of his philosophy a daunting task. It is not surprising, then, that the contextual study of Oakeshott’s ideas has been slow to develop. The first serious attempts at contextualisation were made in the 1960s by W.H.
