This course investigates the fundamental issues in contemporary political philosophy. In every society, individuals live under a shared set of social, political, and economic institutions. How these institutions define the fundamental term of their social cooperation and distribute rights and duties among them will have a profound and pervasive impact on their life prospect. Political philosophy is ultimately about how these fundamental terms of social cooperation ought to be defined so to treat each individual fairly.
