Die Studierenden können die Entwicklung politischen Denkens im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einordnen und erklären. Sie können verschiedene Definitionen von Herrschaft darlegen und können unterschiedliche Theorien des Staates sowie unterschiedliche Demokratietheorien beschreiben.
Darüber hinaus können sie die historische Genese und kulturelle Variabilität gesellschaftlicher Ordnung darlegen. Sie sind fähig, Geschlechtercodierungen in der westlichen Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte sowie in (sozial)wissenschaftlichen Diskursen der Moderne kritisch zu reflektieren und können politische Strategien der Geschlechterpolitik
This course offers an introduction to the study of politics and political thought through engagement with fundamental questions that inform political modernity and the attempts of several canonical political theorists to respond to them: Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Wollstonecraft, Marx, Nietzsche, Arendt, Foucault, Derrida, Nussbaum, Benhabib, Spivak, Mouffe, Butler. Combining historical and theoretical insights, the effort is to understand the foundations of politics and scope of political inquiry through addressing issues such as origin of political society, proper rights of citizens, legitimate purposes of government, nature of rights, meaning of justice and good society.
