Athens and Jerusalem: Philosophy and Religion in Politics
GOVT397 FA

Two approaches to the human condition stand at the beginning of western political thought--philosophy and religion. How are they distinct and what do have in common? How have they contributed to political life? Have they also detracted from it? We will examine their respective views of knowledge, character, justice, and political action, with examples from ancient, medieval and modern times.
