What Is Justice?
For this, you are going to formulate an argument based on which readings, and in the case of the Greeks, which interlocutors inside the readings, that you believe give the best concept of justice, and link other readings to them. How? In the first half of the course we are studying five thinkers: Thucydides, Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Locke. Each of them explicitly discuss the concept of justice, and its relationship to power. Can you synthesize a concept of justice that you think is the most compelling of them all? And use at least three sources to back it up?
