From John Sanders, ProÂfesÂsor of PhiÂlosÂoÂphy at the Rochester InstiÂtute of TechÂnolÂoÂgy, comes the course, Social and PolitÂiÂcal PhiÂlosÂoÂphy. In 10 lecÂtures, Sanders “examÂines some of the main probÂlems of social and politÂiÂcal phiÂlosÂoÂphy through an analyÂsis, comÂparÂiÂson and critÂiÂcal examÂiÂnaÂtion of varÂiÂous views conÂcernÂing the natures of indiÂvidÂuÂalÂiÂty and sociÂety and the relaÂtions between them.” Thinkers covÂered include ArisÂtoÂtle, Hobbes, Locke, Mills, Marx, Engels, Hayek and Rawls. You can stream all the lecÂtures above, or find them all on this YouTube playlist.
