TRN320H: Selected Topics in Ethics, Society, and Law – Classical Political Thought
Course Description
This course examines the themes of law and ethics. We turn to classical texts because they are both foreign and familiar, thereby helping us to see ourselves and our present concerns in a new light. Through a study of selected works of ancient Greek literature and philosophy, we will pay particular attention to the theme of tragedy as not just a conflict between good and bad, but rather between clashing, even irreconcilable, understandings of what is good.law.
