PS 392 - Sexual Politics

(3.00 cr.)

While most courses in political philosophy are concerned with the nature of man (understood to mean the nature of humankind), this course is concerned with the nature of men and women-humankind in its bifurcated state. Students examine the classical treatment of sexual politics (in Plato and Aristophanes); the Bible's handling of the question; as well as modern and contemporary authors who deal with the ever vexed questions of the relation between nature and convention, family and state, public and private, men and women.
